Yes I am bored, so I decided to make this thread, the idea of it is too stop people spamming with Story threads which never get done. I saw a lot of Stories happening around two months ago that never got finished or didn't complete at least a season. I thought this may be helpful. I have not seen a thread like it on forum.
1. Update your thread regularly to keep readers interested. (International Management may take longer due to Holidaying)
2. Do not make a thread with the same team which a active board member may be using as this can sometimes result in arguments. (An exception would be challenges set on FM-Base)
3. Try to make your team a challenge instead of looking for instant success with teams such as Barca, Man United, Madrid and Inter Milan.
4. It would be recommend to at least play 10 League games before starting thread because not everyone goes past pre-season.
5. Try to complete at least one season of your thread.
6. Tell readers when you have finished your thread.
7. Do not use FMTRE or any other method of cheating. (Downloading tactics from forum does not count as cheating)
8. Try to start with a team in a different league (not necessarily Lower Leagues), this will get your thread more fans or viewers.
9. Post screenshots of your team, successes or players. Do this by alt + F9. This thread may help http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/f68/take-a-screenshot-of-fm-2009-t10216.html
10. Add your own opinion on results and features such as your own player of the month, also add anything interesting that happens in your game to keep readers interested.
11. Try to interact with the people reading, give them reasons behind new signings etc and ask them their opinion on your progress.
12. Do not update your thread to often, make sure your thread doesn't get too many update posts. Try and include screenshots of League Table, Player Stats, Current Squad, Confidence and any outstanding players stats in your update posts.
13. Try to post your results in monthly reviews instead of just posting every result in one post.
14. Try not to do full reports on every match, not because we don't like it but because it is very tedious for the author once you do it a lot.
15. Add pictures to your thread at your own will but sometimes they are too big and tend to clutter threads.
16. Although good luck posts and well done posts are very nice, for readers, only try and post if you have something helpful to say to the author, it would be better to thank the author on his post instead of cluttering the thread with 'well done' and 'good luck' posts. This makes it easier for forum members and guests to trawl through the thread.
Feel free to post any more advice that I can add to list thanks.

I've got another one you could put up - Try to interact with the people reading, give them reasons behind new signings etc and ask them their opinion on your progress
