As another option, try a "Merry Sort of Crime", which you should have available: it unlocks at Criminals Renown 20. It's payout is 2.2 Echoes. You're right though, I don't think I know a Criminals Favour use which is a storylet.
4.4 echoes, in fact. And the payout is in honey, which there isn't a great source for otherwise, at least not at a decent EPA.

Wiwo. Almost certainly not a squid in a cunningly tailored suit. Surely.
 Care for some cider? Here's how to ask me for some. Strange pranks strongly preferred.
Care to pet a Heptagoat? Too bad. It doesn't do anything (probably).
I'm a Correspondent and would be delighted to lecture at your orphanage.

I swear I should just change my signature to mistakes made often wait for corrections! I had forgotten that it's that valuable.
Oh, and if you have both the henchman and the accomplice their conflict card is quite profitable.

There was an old AK post somewhere where he explicitly stated that it was a fantasy word supposed to look like ancient Greek. It doesn't really mean anything.

Actually, you can still make Searing Enigmas and impossible theorems when you're kicked out. They do require university connections, though, which are harder to get when you're kicked out.
Studying correspondence plaques does require being in good academic standing, though.

Amanda Albright is a *spoiler* now, like she always wanted.

I have a question regarding quirks: How can I raise my Magnanimous above 7? Apart from one-time stories like the various 'A Name...' parts etc., seasonal content and the Iron Republic? There are a couple Dream cards (which are rare). Also, the Winsome Orphan has an option on his card. Also, 'Something Moves' in the Cave of the Nadir. If you're looking for an easily-ish repeatable way, that might be the 'Give a Gift' card - it has various options (Jewels, Rats, Second Chances) which do this and can be force-drawn for 1 point of Fate in your Lodgings if you don't want to wait for it showing up.
I'm pretty sure this list is by no means exhaustive - just a head start, and the first couple things that came to my mind. I probably also missed something more 'profitable'. Might be an idea to scour the Wiki for that... but be warned. There are a lot of pages on this topic.

Doesn't one of the Renown turn-ins raise Magnanimous? If so, that would be capped at 15.

Hello again charlottealyse!
The benefits are +1 Watchful, Shadowy, Dangerous, and Persuasive, as well as +1 Committed. (You can see this on my profile.) A downside is that you get locked out of later stories that could grant you a NPC (I believe they're called Constant Companions, though I'm not sure) in that slot. I've found my marriage to be very helpful tactically and for RP reasons.
Does anyone who has another sort of Committed figure care to weigh in on the benefits thereof?
Edit: I got married to Holmesian very early on in my gameplay, before it was relegated to a Feast of the Rose-only activity, so the hassle was pretty negligible, even for a pair of beginners. We went for a very simple wedding, low-cost and discreet. I'm not sure how much effort it takes now!
Edit #2 (I keep forgetting things!): You can't unequip your marriage, so if you do decide to tie the knot, it'll always be visible on your profile and always give you the aforementioned stat boosts. I'm not sure how easy it is (or if it's even possible) to get a divorce, so consider your choice carefully! Especially if the person you intend to marry is a real person, and not an alt.

I doubt it's accidental. To be perfectly honest, the grind was obviously unintentional and people being encouraged to not finish storylines is generally a bad thing. It was totally reasonable for them to nerf it... I just wish there were a better way to raise dangerous because it looks like it's going to atrophy for me.
Heists are plausible, despite their nerf. I'll look into recent statistics.
Re: hunting marsh wolves. Pretty bad (1.54 EPA according to my calculations) though still good enough to do if you specifically want rostygold or shrieks, which are hard to come by generally.

I'm pretty sure success on the luck check wipes the whole menace, so its not a bad choice.
