Depends on which award, and how it was chosen to win that award.
Edit: x-posty with Dana.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Oh. Are there, like, real awards? Ones that are considered...what's the word I'm looking for...ah! prestigious.
Because I don't think I've come across any of those in the puppyslashverse yet.

Certainly, the two at Bagenders are readable, if not loveable.
Well, I was thinking more of the knocking up Buffy part of the equation. Because I've never written, nor will I ever write, Legolas sprogging, but I'm guilty of doing it to Buffy within recent memory, and with the tongue removed from my cheek for once.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have no idea what goes on in puppyslash.
In many other fandoms, there are major awards that are usually a good arbiter of quality. Like The Spookys, in X-Files, or the Halos, in Buffy.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
No, Am Chau. No, it really wouldn't. Have to say I stand with Askye in the Elves Aren't Sexual corner, and I've yet to find MPreg a good idea.
I have, however, read several surprisingly good Buffy-has-a-baby stories (looks pointedly at PMM and Herself) and I don't have any problems with it conceptually - Cordy has been impregnated with demon spawn several times and Darla had a baby, so it's not like the show's writers wouldn't go there. MPreg, on the other hand....
Actually, if I'm wholly honest my Sam-Love isn't all about getting into his Hobbity knickers. I just love him. I do maintain that Hobbits have the sex, because they're all over the whole eating, drinking, smoking, rollicking in the hay thing, as far as I can see. Very Anglo Saxon. But my love of Sam is pure and obsessive, because he is Sam, and thus worth dying for. Or killing for. Rather than based on "Oooh! Pretty!" Although he is that too.

the Halos, in Buffy.
Huh. Interesting. I never heard of those awards. The only Buffy fanfic ones I knew of were the usual, "I have a website so I'm going to start an awards page and give awards to all my friends and anyone else who thinks Willow and Angel belong together."

This is insane. I need to stop re-reading this damned story.
Would I sound like a complete ass if I send feedback again with "Just checked. Yep, still gets me. Every time. Three of them today."?

I sent feedback.
For something I'd already feedbacked.
Sigh. BUT IT'S SO GOOD!!!
