Yes, please! There are so many possible characters if everything is kept together that nominations/requests could be quite restrictive.
Silm and other histories is a good category since it is fairly separate from Hobbit and LotR. I could see CHs for Children of Húrin and the Akallabêth, but those might not even strictly be necessary, since CoH can be subsumed in "other histories" and is contained in the Silm in a less detailed version, and the Akallabêth (the part of the story dealing with Númenor and its fall) is self-contained by definition.
For LotR and the Hobbit, there should definitely be options to separate out books and movies, since those are the big dividing lines, so CH: LotR (book), LotR (movies) (or CH: LotR Jackson Movies if anyone wants to make sure they end up with Bakshi movie fic, but I doubt that's going to be a problem), CH: Hobbit (book) and CH: Hobbit (movies) would be good to have.
