The mushroom writing story is actually pretty good, as I lost all my Menace Qualities just by celebrating soon after publishing my ode of mushrooms.
The making waves is good because it is making you close to getting a quality called A Person of Some importance. When one of your stats reach a high level, you are considered famous in London and you get unique missions that benefit you a lot.
If you want to play Fallen London with me, my username there is AssassinOfDoom. We can do stories together and apparently someone already has friended me to ask for help on the Trail of the Affluent Reporter.
