Hello delicious friends. I am trying to become a journalist and unsure how to continue. I have no profession and my connected bohemian is 26. I'm told I need "racking the Much" or something like that from spite but I can't find the card. My shadowy is about 100. Can I no longer become a journalist?

"Raking the Muck of the Neath" is a very early Shadowy story in Spite. Look for a gold-bordered storylet called "The Careworn Journalist". If it's not there, I guess it might be locked above a certain level of Shadowy...?

I can confirm the storylet is still there even when having a very high Shadowy.

Then maybe I already did it? I certainly can't find it.

On the Myself tab it should feature under Stories. If it's not there, and you can't see it in Spite, it might be worth a bug report...

Okay, so I've done some checking and I have bohemian connected 26 and racking the muck of the neath 11. Can I still become a journalist?

Absolutely, the option on the Bohemian card should be unlocked for you if you do not currently have a profession. Anything else would really suggest something's amiss!

Welcome to the RNG.

DragonRidingSorceress is an Author of good standing. Mostly good standing. She's happy to accept any social action except Photographer and Loitering, but requests warnings before duping/poisoning/etc.
Seeker of Names is a... being with an obsession. They're willing to accept all invitations.
One who seeks to know all that is and may be. One who dances in the silence of the void. One whose fantasies make the reality come alive.

It took my two weeks of waiting, then not only did I draw Journalist, but less than a week later I drew another, and became an Author before receiving my first Journalist payment. It's a waiting game.

Remember my delicious friends:
When you finally meet the Raking and Connected qualities and draw the Bohemian contacts card, you must resign from your basic profession first before becoming a Journalist! If you are still employed as one of the four basic professions, you will not be allowed to proceed. You may resign in your lodgings under write letters. For obvious reasons, it's recommend to only do this when you are qualified and after you draw the card.
And who am I to dole such advice? You may know me as the (in)famous Bohemian Author Snow Belie, and all the debauchery rumors others spew about me out into the muck...are true.

Also remember, if you intend to advance from Journalist to Author, do not resign from your Journalist position first. I may have made this error and had to draw the Demi-Monde an extra time...

I've been trying to get this demi-monde card for over a week now. Do I need to quit my current minor poet profession in order for this card to appear or do I have to wait for the card, quit profession nad then use the card?

The demi-monde card will show up no matter what your profession. The RNG is just messing with you.

Just wanted to say that I got this card a few hours after I posted my question. The next day I got another card! So I kept it till I've completed an exceptional short story. Now I'm an author! Yay
