A few folks have pledged enough in kick starters to get this rarest of rare content.
If you could ask for anything, put it anywhere, with any unlock requirement, what story would you like to see?

Honestly, I'd probably just make them finish the ambitions. They're getting close. I really wish they'd finish them off.
Failing that though, probably something to do with Storm. He/She/It got referenced briefly recently, but I'd like to see some more explicit lore. Maybe a journey to the roof, or something hinting at why people go all stormy-eyed.

I hadn't thought about it until I saw this thread, but the EF stories have done a marvelous job of filling in the gaps. Neglected factions, snuffers, personages and even biological Domains have all been having their day (or perhaps their month). Up until recently, I might have said the orphans deserve a go, or perhaps Salt. But in the last week or two there's been a new orphan story announced/released and a new wing of seeking relating to Salt.
Almost everything I thought of (off the top of my head anyway) has been explored recently. Good job FBG!

Fallen London does actually get some rain! Sort of. It's mostly condensation and the occasional downpour caused by subterranean water leaking through the roof. But we call it rain.

Well, if I might avoid sounding to reverent to any Gods of the Zee, I mean a proper storm. Something new, fresh. Rain needs to wash away and make clean, and the paltry rains of the Neath can't quite manage that.

If we're talking about dream unlock requirements, I've always wanted to see a story that unlocks when you have 1. one of the PoSI specilizations (Extraordinary Mind, Shattering Force, Legendary Charisma, Invisible Eminence) 2. 0 Dangerous 3. 0 Watchful 4. 0 Shadowy 5. 0 Persuasive. It would challenge all four stats and require you to have no second chances. On success or failure it removes your PoSI Specialization and PoSI status, sets notability to 0, and gives a massive hit to all your favors and renown. On success you gain 1 change point (cp) of progress in the Cultist of Oblivion quality.
Having lost the status, you would then need to regrind your way back up to the specialization again, and even have to go through the PoSI tutorial about building a velocipede each time. You need to level the quality to 7 to progress and join the cult. This means you end up having like +28 velocipedes by the time you can join and thats if you don't fail the luck challenges once. If you overshoot and pass quality level 7, you aren't allowed to join either. The story would have a reset that lets you blank your progress back to 0 in exchange for paying a single rat (i.e. minimum unlock is to have 1 rat, but it sets rats to 0 on resolution).
Upon successfully joining the cult, you would be given the old/original Bottled Oblivion item which was a weapon slot item that gave like -5 to all stats. Never forget, or always forget, whichever applies the most haha :-)
Edit: The luck check might be a bit much. I'll relent on that part seeing as it would take about 9 years worth of actions to complete this quest, and that's assuming constant optimal grinding.

Seeing as you mention it... I'd love a story exploring gender variance in the Neath. Especially considering the range of flesh-sculpting available to us. What else? Well, there's a whole Tomb-Colony out there, waiting to be explored. Oh, and you know who I'd like to learn more about? Dogs. We meet cats and rats and ravens and bats, and guinea pigs in cuirasses, but only a handful of dogs.

Would love to see more Ambitions content, and continuations on promised storylines (e.g. The Last Constable and the Cheery Man, The Case of the Other Waxwork, &c). More zee-voyage destinations would also be grand.
But if I were to request a highly specific story in a highly specific way... I've always wondered why the Honey-Addled Detective lacks a certain Limping Doctor companion. Therefore, I suggest: a quest in which we attempt to recover said Limping Doctor from the place where he was lost on the battlefield; a place which the Regretful Soldier still sees in his fever-dreams, where the Blind Pianist's contact hides amidst the roses (do not touch them, do not look at them, and most of all do not pluck them), where the Bishop's regrets entwine with the sizzling, effervescent souls of the damned.
It's all out of the blue (er, black?), I admit. But it's a crossover, one might say, between several incomplete but hinted-at storylines already in-game, and most of all it was the product of a sleep-deprived mind over the course of several days back when I first started playing FL, when viric danced behind my eyelids and lore was an inspiration more than a guideline.

I would wager that the story about the Neath's various craftsmen would be quite interesting. Gathering Parabola-Linen, meeting the crazed milliners responsible for the Exceptional Hat(s) and giving the man that set Kifer prices what-for! Seriously, this is a severely underexplored part of the game, and info from it would surely help RP.

I would really love some late-game followups to early stories, like the Last Constable, Spirifer and Pianist. I really love continuity in world-building and it adds greatly to immersion, to feel that the stories continue, my choices are meaningful etc. I enjoy a lot most of the exceptional stories, but they have a 'monster of the week' feel to them - once they are over i get that I won't be hearing from the characters again, and that's fair for monthly stories, but I really, really appreciate when storylines intertwine and carry over to different stories.
I also would prefer new stories to be build around existing characters and places, instead of adding new ones. Maybe more stories revolving around companions that we've got? Or some companion-from-nadir romance, pretty please?

Rain in the Neath.
Think of rain's power. It washes away, cleanses, restores, enlightens. As a dedicated lover of rain it makes me said to think that they probably don't have it, despite recurring dreams of it.
I think the whole of London's wretchedness would be just a little bit better for a single day of rain.

The story of the day-to-day life of Devils.
Like, we know what they *do* (if by 'do' the answer is take souls), but I'd still like to learn more about their motivations beyond the job description.
Having soullessness as a pre-requisite (so that they stop looking at you like their next meal) wouldn't be a bad idea, even.
(I do understand that, by extension, that requirement would make it Fate-locked. But it seemed the most thematically appropriate requirement that I could think of.)

This is what I've been saying for so long
The FBG team are wonderful, but I've noticed that it seems to be unfinished stories are a low priority. There was a poll a while back, on which ones we'd like to see finished, and it was surprising just how many there are within the game . . . I can understand that FBG needs to make money to survive as a company, and - without profits - it'd otherwise be impossible to finish any work at all, but it would be nice to periodically get one of the old stories finished off. If we get a new EF story every month, a festival every few months (and new festivals, to boot) . . . why not just finish an old story (or add to one) every so many months? It doesn't even have to be often, just enough so we can get closure on old stories.
That being said -!
Johanna, the EF stories often do focus on pre-existing characters; this recent one focused on the Urchin faction, elaborating on them and fleshing them out, so that we got a lot of lore about them and what their faction entails The companions are a tricky one, too, as not everyone will have the same companions - so incorporating them into a story would require some forethought, while many players would feel they aren't 'relevant' should they have had no interaction with them . . . the EF stories sometimes compromise on this (one allowed for you to choose the 'long lost daughter' as a character, if you had her, for example, which gave her a use without giving her a new story).
I would love to see old stories finished, though . . .

Sympathetic to Ratly Concerns! I'm arguing that we should start seeing more story actions that raise it so that one day we can see the L.B.'s more. That one tiny little storylet that reference's Rat Suffrage being a cause for some people just always stuck with me.

That would be the Deadliest Game - which would be a fun story. I still want a story in which your character tries to host a dinner party, with all the preparation and insane guest wrangling. I really liked the ES The Thrice Dead since we got to see the more domestic side of London, and I would like to see more stories in that vein - more normal aspects of life in a very abnormal world.

I think nearly all of the veterans of Fallen London have mountains of items. I like to imagine that our unused Lodgings are merely stockrooms.
And while the idea of ridding your inventory of goods on the Winking Isle was interesting, I wouldn't mind a story where dumping hundreds of thousands of something gave you a unique item.
Until then, I'll keep hoarding everything I can get my hands on, just in case.

Probably make permanent London settlements for the "Favour" factions such as the Rubbery Men, Docks, Criminals etc. Making one such "strongholds" require lots of Connection and Materials but will give the player a menace-free, cheap and non-opportunity deck based way for grinding said favours.
