Bronze Border Stories

Are all stories with a bronze border solvable? I heard that the storylet "Villainy for Profit: Area-Diving" is possible to do; however, I've completed the entire story four times and the same option exists with the same story with the servants and such. Am I missing something? I feel like I've been missing out on some story for shadowy because after unlocking the Flit around 45 or so, I have been struggling to get it up. And I haven't had a problem with the other qualities, but shadowy is lagging behind. I've been grinding "Working for the Widow" story since the chances of success aren't too low. This method is so slow, but seems like the only way to raise it? Too low for the Flit stories, nothing to do in Spite...
Regarding the bronze border storylets, it's the same with the "Jack-of-smiles has expanded his interests" storylet, I've done it and no new story line.

I believe most bronze storylets are actually repeatable, until you get locked out of them by advancing story or raising stats.
As for raising shadowy - Flit is the best place, get some shadowy gear if you can't access any storylets and grind options that provide no menaces on failure.
Or you could make use of suspicious loitering - there was a recent(ish) thread for like-minded new players: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic21768-society-of-upandcoming-criminals.aspx

Yeah, Shadowy is by far the hardest attribute to raise - I ended up buying a Ratskin Suit and Pair of Lenguals to get my Shadowy reasonably caught-up, myself! Beyond that, all you can really do is push through the stories; "The Big Score" robbery set is very slow to get through, but the followup, Heists, is extremely quick, using the same tests but requiring a fraction of the actions to get through and giving some nice rewards.... just make sure you have 90 effective Shadowy required to buy Inside Information before doing so, 2 of them is generally enough to near-guarantee a victory and you can get 2 II + meet the heist's requirements with three successful "Formulate a plan"s.
Otherwise, beyond my method of "bribe your way to competency" you can either try and find a Shadowy Patron (good luck, genuinely!) or just resign yourself to a long grind to get it up to scratch.
