Another article from Fiction Factor:

Weave Sub-Plots Into Your Novel
By Lee Masterson

And last, more for provoking thought than anything, I'm including this article:

How to Write Horror for Children
By Sarah Todd

http://children.fictionfactor.com/articles/kidshorror.html

Mainly because I think some of the ideas carry over to writing for adults (and fanfic) as well.

Heh, that deadline one should have been out on the 1st of NaNoWriMo not the 30th. :D It's a good one though.

The subplots one was interesting too. I don't generally use subplots a lot, I think last year's NaNo novel was the first one where I'd used more than one sub plot.
