A suggestion:
PurpleRain's [a href="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.151264"]How to make a successful thread and win friends' thread[/a]. A convenient guide to authoring successful threads.
Could probably get away with paring that up with
Samurai Goomba's 'Creating an Awesome Thread (hint: It does not involve Halo)' Thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.149941#3510071] Same idea as ^^.
[user]Scotth266[/user] also did something similar with his Threading Taboos [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.126913#2680801] thread (except that was more on the topic of what is and isn't a good topic for these forums), but that needs a large amount of updating since last time, since all the examples of bad threads have (funnily enough) been 404'd. Also, he hasn't touched it in a while after saying he was going to add political threads to it.
