Ay, karumba.
I've always felt that given the incredible talent level in this fandom that any nomination is a win.
I completely agree.
I just read through the stories in the Best Short and Super Short, and I have absolutely no idea how I am going to choose which one to vote for.
Based on this year's selection, it seems if you're looking for a great story, a Kerth nomination is enough qualification.
And there are others which are great but didn't get a nom. My brain is overloading trying to sort this out. I think the easier ones will be theme specific because you have something specific to look for, but I'm dreading trying to read all those because I fear it'll make it even more difficult.
