It's also a good way to get 'Okay, I've reviewed. Now where's the new chapter' kind of reviews. Or reviews that just list numbers, 'Number 4, one more to go'

Very true. Ransoming for reviews is a terrible idea. I would flame someone who did that, for sure.
Also, another cute technique for getting reviews is offering them some form of imaginary repayment. My favorite offers are:
"Publix cookies and muffins for all, since I wouldn't want to kill you with my awful cooking skills!"
and
"Official immitation Shino glasses and Akamaru plushies for all!"
Those kinds of things are cute and fun, and it gives the readers something to mention in their reviews, which [wink wink] makes the reviews look longer X3
Great chappie. I hope newbies learn from this so they can avoid getting flamed. ^_^

Hmm, I love the idea of what you're trying to do, but this is a tad confusing; you've got all the right ideas, but... I don't know. It feels a little disorganized.
Um, good things... I like how you have Ocha here to help explain things. It makes this much more interesting and less "hey-look-I'm-an-essay-on-how-to-write-better-so-hear-me-drone-on-forever"-ish. If that made any sense.
And, um, final suggestion; maybe this would be more useful to people if you could use an example of a typical plot in fanfiction and how to dress it up a bit? I don't know. Something to help relate it to this site a bit. Also, run this through Microsoft Word for spelling.
Anywho, sorry that was so critical! I don't think you did bad, I just... if you're trying to help others with writing, I'd just like to make sure it's something spectacular. I love what you're doing, please, keep it up!
Props! And I hope lots of people read this and find it helpful!

I've been writing stories on other sites for about a year now but what I think you're doing id a nice thing. Totally. I don't get how any one would think it's being rude because what I think you're doing is very nice and helpful. Especially for those still in school. It could help them.

Ahhh good ol' Todorov and his theory of equilibrium! I love it! XD
Although I personally find that leaving things on a climax is really fun because it means people will never know what happens next/ can make up their own minds about what could happen! Mwah!
Good guide though! - Don't forget to add "get a good beta reader" to it too though XD :P
