Seeking inspiration at the Court...

On the advise of many, I have decided to spend some time at the Imperial Court, not so much for the intrigue and opportunities for seduction (though those ARE nice...), but to create some worthwhile works of art! An epic poem or a novel, of a less... fantastical bend, to help me gain access to God's Editors. Now that I've gotten started, though, I find that the many options for gathering inspiration here are... bewildering.
Loads of options, many different advantages, and occasionally problematic consequences on failure. Seeing as I've only just barely got over 100 Persuasive, my odds are never higher than the mid-60's for success, making failures inevitable...
So I would ask those who have already walked the paths of those hallowed halls - are any of the options clearly superior? Or clearly inferior? I can access all of them... more or less. My Austerity is a bit too low to have any kind of decent chance at taking inspiration from chamber-music.

I'll just leave that here for any other forum-goers who happen by this thread looking for advice...

I'm terribly short on candles, unfortunately... they've been steadily used up by my plant. Besides, I needed to practice my Persuasive anyway, to get it up to 110, so I could start accepting party-invitations.
I've actually got just a BIT too low Society-connection to do 'Rivals'... but I think I can get it there pretty fast. I might go for that. The Lead, unfortunately, is only an option if you're doing a ballet or opera or whatever... sadly, you cannot spend quality-time with the lead of a poem or a novel. Not even in the Neath. :p

Ah, that one works... I think I'll go with that, for now.
Incidentally, I just discovered that there actually IS a Guide available for this on the Wiki - albeit at the somewhat counter-intuitive location of 'Shaping a Masterpiece for The Empress', which I understand is the name of a now-defunct Storylet that got replaced by the current system of inspiration-gathering and whatnot.
