The story has been taken down from AFF, but I'm not seeing any record of staff action. The author has changed their pen name, however, from tmntfangirl84 to pandasize. There are no published stories for that account. T

It's another RTE, then? I'm curious, because I know AO3 also has the line duplication issue in its RTE. I'll have to poke about and test it, but the "Paste from Word" option should preserve the formatting, including the style setting. One of my Luddite tendencies is that I still like the illusion that each "enter" is a carriage return, so I have "No spacing" as my default style in Word.

How do you add content on that other site? I'm going to guess it's not an RTE?

I find myself using the third pass to catch those irritating little quirks, like using the same adjective twice in a paragraph. I do find myself fussing more over things I publish online, because anything I submit to a publisher, if accepted, is going to be reviewed by an editor. The editor will place my nose firmly to the grindstone, and make me fix what I missed. The advantage of that, however, is that I can be taught, and I try not to make those mistakes again.

If you use Word 2010, the "Normal Spacing" style setting will give you a blank line between paragraphs without adding another paragraph break.

I think that's a common problem for many of us. One trick I use to keep from over-editing is a three-pass rule. I write the rough draft, and then I'm allowed three passes over the completed story or chapter. The first pass is always grueling, and focuses on grammar and syntax. The second pass is for flow and content, and the third pass is to tweak and polish. After that, I'm done. No more tinkering and over-tweaking. It's posted, and hopefully, it's acceptably error-free. If not, well, someone will be sure to tell me where I screwed up, and I can always fix it.

At the moment, while we're working on the code rewrite, all new registrations by default permit anonymous reviews. So, for now, they're turned on for the archive account. Once the rewrite is done, that option to enable to disable anonymous reviews should be back as an option for all our members.
