I recently completed my fourth great artistic work for the Empress' pleasure - an epic poem of tragic love as it happens - and a certain request has been made of me by a particular gentlemen of the court.
I am leaning towards complying with that request, as it sounds rather entertaining, but the reception may not be entirely positive. So I ask you, my friends and neighbours; should I? How much might I regret it?

You'll end up losing access to the Empress' Court, and gain access to a different area within Wilmot's End. If you're not quite done there I would recommend refusing the offer for now and waiting until you're ready.

Hmm. Well, I don't think I have much left to do there so I'll wrap up my business and set to work.
Thanks for the advice.

Make sure you have a copy of every novel and every poem before you leave.
I made the mistake of thinking I had to accept the offer when it first appeared and am left without a Tragedy of Romance for the rest of my days. Such a great regret.

Ah, now I'm afraid I might need everything. *Checks completed artistic works in inventory* Oh, dear... this is going to take a while.

You won't, so far as I'm aware, -need- everything. If you're a completionist, you might very much want to get everything - personally, I settled for getting everything that's the sort of thing my character would write! (From memory, the only uses of the poems and novels you can create are... a Christmas option to trade away your Patriotic Adventure, an option to use your Tale of the Future to help build a Zub, and an option to befriend God's Editors by showing them one of your works, which counts basically everything -except- the Tale of the Future.)

I suggest you raise your Scholar of the Correspondence quality to 10 before leaving the court.

If you plan on getting the extended labyrinth of tigers storyline I wouldn't bother, though. And it's really grindy to do that from court or using the other not-fate-locked route.

It is grindy, but we don't have many choices.

Not bother, since it's really only necessary for becoming a correspondant? :P

It comes in handy lots of other places, too. Such as the Nemesis Ambition.
You're going to want a high Scholar of the Correspondence sooner or later and it's best to get it to ten using the Palace than the much more expensive options later in the game.
