For reference-- category lengths for novella, novelette, and short story:

Short story: up to 7500 words; that's up to 20 pages in a book with largish type, as few as 14 pages in a ‘zine like Asimov’s with small type and lots of words per page;

Novelette: 7500-17500 words; in a book, 20-50 pages, fewer in a magazine

Novella: 17500-40000 words; in a book, 50-100 pages or so. More than that is a novel.

Locus has been relaxing upward the limit for novellas, since everything has gotten longer in recent years; some ‘novellas’ published in book form are nearly 200 pages long. (Since too many novels are 900 pages long.) But for these polls we'll stick with the traditional definitions.

Go with what seems appropriate, and as votes are compiled, I’ll check out lengths of stories voted across categories and then aggregate them in whatever the correct category is.
