I'm one of the Preliminary Readers for nominated fics before they make the official nomination list: I basically make sure that fics are serious writing efforts. We call ourselves "Grammar Goons" on the forum. (^_~) Nobody should get a "Best" nomination slot just because they feel like nominating themselves, and we help with the quality control.
I am not the only one watching out for the quality of the fics though, so please be careful that what you nominate actually fits within the rules. The rules are here.
Mods will also weed out the ones that ignore the nomination rules- I went to preliminary read a fic last night, and it was already gone because it was actually a series of fics rather than chapters of one fic. If you are not sure about which category to nominate in, please ask in the FAQ thread! It will save you a lot of confusion and frustration in the long run, I think.
Hope this helps! I know the awards forum has been about 1000% livelier since nominations have started, so do stop by! It is a great place to talk about writing and Final Fantasy- I was totally not a forum kind of person until I discovered it. Home page is here if you just want to have a browse.
