I think a combined category may have had more interest than the smaller categories since it is less restrictive and therefore will have more options for nominations when/if it comes to it.

I wanted a single short story category as well it being one I would most like to see make the final ten. But what is done is done I'd day.
I'm as little more upset that the two categories I first nominated did not make it into the poll as I nominated them:

I notice that the parenthetical modifier for
Award Winners (fiction) did. I don't even know at this point if Science (factual not fiction) or History (factual not fiction) will even be among the final selections. If so though it would have been nice to make clear that the first was not to be a second month for
Science Fiction and the second was not a chance to make
Historical Fiction a category even if the poll said no.
