Slowly but surely. I'm exactly 250 short as of this writing thanks to the kind assistance of a reader and the regular unsigned contributions of the Masters.

Wish you good luck with it! I'll probably not be able to hoard 337 more; as soon as I finish Flint I'll sell my soul and probably open all the packages! 
Can't wait to see 777 on someone's profile!

I'm currently just going about raising my Renown with the different factions. I'm currently focusing the most on Society and the Constables, simply because they both have the most cards as well as connections to the Committee of Vital Restitution. Afterwards, I plan to raise Tomb Colonies and Docks up… but unfortunately, I know of no good ways to gain Docks favours. I've seen every option available, but even with a Connected Pet and the Galatea, they don't seem to appear that often.
Tomb-Colonies is going to be a more traditional grind, however. I've heard of people going to New Newgate for Criminal favours and Flute Street for Rubbery favours. I plan to do the same with Venderbright. My only question is if it's better to enter with 5+3 scandal or with a flat 8 scandal. (Too bad I can't just sail there on my own ship!)

Depends on RNG's kindness, but you can even the odds! My advice is to head there with little AP as possible and 3 (or 5) cards get the full deck when arriving. Doing so, you'll have enough time to flip and discard cards until you get 6 Favours. Yes, 6 of them because you gain one when entering the colonies.
Good luck!

I am going for the Cider, having completed all non-destructive in-game goals so far. I do have three ES I have not played yet, and a tiny piece of content left in Polythreme... their time will come.

There's no advantage to getting exiled with more Scandal. You can't leave until you hit 0, but you also don't get kicked out until you decide to return to London. The lower your starting Scandal the more likely you won't max out Favours and still be stuck.

Top goal is my 10,000 Organising Wedding at the Bazaar. Beyond that:
Paramount Presence (slowly getting ready to tackle),
Poet Laureate, and making one of each work of art,
Raising Renown to 40 with all factions (achieved with Society)
Get the 3rd 4-card lodging (Premises at the Bazaar)
and after all that, I'd like to get a Bat with Attitude.
I have simple needs!

I recently finished SMEN (got that sweet Seven Fold Knock) and Poet Laurette, so I have been working toward slowly grinding notability toward Paramount Presence. I was able to get to 8 notability without really trying, but in the mean time I have been grinding the hell out of my Salon progress (currently at 39ish) for an easy push to 15. I still need to do the math to see how many CP I really need in my Salon for this.
I have also been focusing on getting Renown 40 with all factions. All I have left there is Church (at 37), Constables (at 28?), and Rubbery Men (at 27?). I am thinking eventually I will work toward 50 in all factions just for that awesome text in your Connections tab, but maybe focus more on Criminals and Constables first so I qualify for that Paramount Presence Shadowy option as I have no interest in grinding for all that rare treasures and a 10k echo grind is a bit tedious, especially as I have been spending down from my vast fortune like crazy lately to save actions.
Beyond that, I am looking forward to the next Festival of the Exceptional Rose so I can get my second tattoo and finally have the max possible BDR!

I want one of each of the 1500E Items. I might one day try and collect one soul for every person in Fallen London. (I'm not sure what the population is?)
Failing that - paramount presence is my current primary focus.

Depends on your BDR. But Making Waves 55 (which is what you'd need for a BDR of 25 to get notability 15) is 1540CP. You'd be starting (probably) from MW 14 at best (e.g. having just got N14) and that's worth 100CP. So - about 1400, means you'll need to get a visitor (Crooked Cross) for 200MW a time, and will cost you 15 change points of Scheme. You'll need to do this 7 times and this costs 105CP. If you could use 'scheme' at zero, you'd need 13 levels of it. but you can't - you need at least 6 Scheme (20 CP).
You therefore need 16 Scheme to generate MW55 for the last level. And a friendly crooked-cross who's prepared to help you out 7 times.
But to get N14, you'd have needed (again, using BDR 25) MW 51 - which is 1300CP. (maybe -91 for starting at MW 13). So you'd need another crooked-cross visiting 6 times, costing 90 CP of 'scheme' - so that's basically 15 Scheme from zero, but as on top of the push to L15, you'll be needing 20 + 105 + 90 = scheme 20-and-a-bit. (let's call it 21).
For N13, you'll be looking for 47 making waves - 1128 (-78 for starting from MW13).
Again with the crooked cross - you'll be needing 6 visits again, and another 90 CP.
So then it's scheme 20 + 105 + 90 + 90 = or a little bit over 24 scheme.
This calculation pretty much works the same with Orphanages, although there you're looking for midnighters and correspondents. But your limiting factor might also be card-draw frequency. The tower of eyes might not actually show up 7+ times in a week.

If it wasn't a long scraps-grind I'd be happier.
I mean, I've got:
- Vial of Masters Blood thanks to the sommelier
- Location of a Once Time Prince of Hell via selling the location if the Nadir to the Great Game
- An impossible theorem, via the truthbreaker turbine.
- Working towards a Fluke Core via the cave of the nadir.
... but only one of those count, I need:
- Veils Velvet scrap
- Rumourmongers Network
- Breath of the Void.
And those are all 'save up 3200 scraps' which is a commensurate effort, but IMO 'just' a tedious grind. I actually felt like I was achieving something going for the Impossible Theorem.

I haven't experienced all the FL content on my characters yet, so that's what they'll be doing... as for me, my big meta-game goal is to collect as many location banners (ie. the graphic at the top of the page that changes when you switch locations) as possible. From the very beginning I've loved the high-contrast shadowed style of the banner artwork, and have been saving every new one that I encounter to my hard-drive. And now that there are different banners for the old site and the new beta site, I'm trying to catch all the old banners before they disappear for good!
I probably won't get every single one of them, but one can try!

Become 'closest-to' the great game (or bohemians) and grind using counting-the-days. (You can run the whole cycle with these factions, and hen only need to wait to draw the final card). This will get you 4 favours for 44? actions. One of each of docks/urchins/great game/bohemians
Cycle airs of london (Unfinished business works for this, especially if you have a need for a lot of a particular item, such as greyfields 1882 for the portly sommelier, or souls for spirifying). On 'airs' 96-100, visit watchmakers hill -> The dept of menace eradication -> follow a chandleress home -> Confess your fears. 1 docks favour for 3 actions. (Airs will cycle again, and you've a 1/25 chance of being able to do this twice). Will cost 1cp of Dangerous to do this.

Fate Story The Empress' Shadow, unlocks a grind (repeateable for free), that's got a 50% chance of a favour. (one of the choices will give you dock-favours).

Currently, I'm about halfway to a Rumormonger's Network, which will be my fourth top-tier scrap item, making it the last treasure I need for London's Marrow. And London's Marrow is all that is left for me to become a Paramount Presence.
Not the most creative goal, but I'm looking forward to it.

Miscellaneous Goals I have:
* Making it to Notability 15 so that I can repair my Dangerous stat back to 215.
* Hesperidian Cider!
* Getting my Renown: Criminals to 50 (it's currently at 47);
* Getting all of the Gifts for each faction (I still lack all the items for Docks and Bohemians).
* Getting all of the highest tier items from the Relickers (I have none at present!)
* Getting a vial of Masters' Blood while still having at least one vial of Airag and Bazaar's Tears on hand.
I am sure that I'll find other goals when I achieve these.

(Detailed explanation)
Shortly after posting this, I was inspired to do a calculation in spreadsheet format. It is based off BDR 32, so might have limited usefulness to others, but definitely helped to have the math all done.
