Lou, you can always unlock the ES (before last Thursday of every month) and play them when you feel ready.
Having a new character with 40 should be great as is because you'll end up wasting more AP to grind specific items. But my advice is to do NOT rush! Enjoy, read, feel and taste the early stories and cards because they will be locked!

This is fantastic news, thank you! Follow-up question for posterity's sake: if I unlock a story, and my EF runs out before I've had a chance to play it, can I still do so, or do I have to renew?
You only need to be subscribed during the month in question in order to unlock the story. Once the story is unlocked, it stays unlocked until you finish it. (Mechanically: Only the unlock storylet checks for ES status. All other storylets look for a status granted by the unlock storylet.)
Note that occasionally the unlock storylet is two or three actions into the ES, although FBG may have stopped doing this. You will know you have unlocked an ES because you will get big bold text thanking you for unlocking the ES, and informing you that you may continue it at your leisure.
Your story tab may get a little cluttered with pinned stories until you get around to playing them.

There are 27 of them. All Cyriacs, many of them martyrs. There are churches named for him in Lacock (Wiltshire) and Swaffham Priory (Cambridgeshire; I'm familiar with this one from having a family member at Cambridge University). The most prominent was martyred in 303 under Diocletian. You can invoke him against eye diseases and diabolical possession, the latter probably useful in the Neath?
One RC site sadly lists the emperor as Diocletion, but this one seems more serious:

Here are some answers:
[spoiler]You do lose all the required animals.
You can remake the Ocelot, as well as all the others. You'll just need to get another Hyaena, and go through the breeding process again. The only lock on breeding these companions is that you can't have more than one at a time.
You will lose the card during the time that you don't have an Ocelot, and the card will return to your deck once you breed another. Losing your Ocelot (whether by selling it or by creating the Owl) will not affect your paper. Having the Ocelot is an unlock requirement for that option in setting up your paper, but will not be checked again at any point in using your paper.[/spoiler]
edit: forgot spoiler tags!

Is it quicker to use Wilmot’s for legal documents, or grind Shrieks from Ladybones?
If you succeed with every challenge when building up Dramatic Tension it takes 44 Actions to get it from Wilmot's End. It costs 60 Echoes' worth of Wild Words to have a Legal Document drawn up, and if the source of Primordial Shrieks from Ladybones Road is around 1 Echo/Action, and it costs extra Actions to upgrade them to Maniac's Prayers, Correspondence Plaques and Aeolian Screams, then Wilmot's End should be a lot quicker. If, however, you already have some of the needed Wild Words goods, just getting the Primordial Shrieks you need might be quicker.
If you still have access to The third coil storylet you could use that to hunt white marsh wolves for Mr Inch. It wouldn't get you Primordial Shrieks faster, but you'd gain some Rostygold for future expenses.

Aww, now I'm too late to add to the last week's questions that the Attend a church fête on the south bank of the River action on the "Altars and Alms-Houses: the Church" card mentions the Greyfields Winery and "what they playfully refer to as their 'vineyards'", showing the image of a brown mushroom for that action. I attend quite often myself without paying much attention.

Greetings, all! I'm returning to the Neath after about a year-long hiatus after I finished Seeking with my first character, and I've just created a fresh account to experience London all over again. I would really like to become an Exceptional Friend this time around, though, but my character is only a couple of days old at this point and my stats are pretty much all below 20 so I kind of want to hold off on it. So roundabouts what level should my stats be before I can comfortably play the exclusive stories and really get the benefits of EF?

You only need the EF status to unlock a story. Afterwards it doesn't matter and any story can be played at any time.

Since the forgotten quarter got an update, I wish to ask what some good ways of getting some dock favors are. I plan to use them for the 40 expedition for profit.
--
I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien
Persuasive patron. You want a lesson, send me a message asking for one.

Off the top of my head: Docks card, visiting the Regretful Soldier, being a Rat Catcher, visiting the Chandleress at Airs 96-100, having a Taciturn Mynah, being lucky at the party with Stick to Something Stately. Other one-off options around London at lower stats or, e.g. during the Cheesemonger storyline. End of the carousel on Mutton Island. One of the cards received after playing The Gift.
Don't forget that strong-backed labour can also be converted to supplies if you happen to come by it, say, at Wilmot's End after visiting the Nadir.

Also worth mentioning is Jenny's Finishing School.

If you mean Eyeless Skulls, there's a thread for that. You can only get it from someone for your first Skull, though, not one of the five you need later.

pleasure to meet you.
Has some ideas the Masters won't approve of like some items and establishing a Colony in Parabola.
I will accept most social interactions (not duping). I do enjoy role playing as well.
Have some possibly still active codes!

Regardless of strange and supernatural things, it's said to be saltwater, so about as pleasant to drink as seawater.

And to answer a different question, I don't believe there's any action in the game that lets you do so (I'm open to corrections, though).

Mr Eaten's Twitter has gotten a lot more wordy and a lot more active lately. Is this something to be concerned / excited about?

Got some questions about the Labyrinth of Tigers breeding program, which I'll spoiler in case anyone wants to avoid it.
[spoiler]
If I play the Bifurcated Owl storyline in my lodgings, do I lose all my animals that are part of the requirements?
If I do, can I remake the Corresponding Ocelot?
If I can't, does that affect my paper since I put him on the letters page, and does it mean the opportunity card associated with him is gone for good too?[/spoiler]
