Last song: Champagne & Sunshine by PLVTINUM, Tarro (i love the singing of approximately the second verse but i don't like the end so i always replay the beginning) [ps: yours is sooo good]

Last film: was interrupted in the middle of The Two Towers

Currently reading: I was in between books! I just finished The Spears Of Jerusalem by George Bordonove (about the Crusades and King Baldwin IV, which i did like but some parts were seriously weird -women written by men stereotype, no need to elaborate-, ps: wondering if historical romance, even if published, if about a real person, counts as xOC fanfic, bc i've read all of the romance ao3 has to offer about this king already so how is this book any different?), and was planning to read A Splendid Ruin next, by Megan Chance, but lotr is also ever-ongoing

Currently Watching: Outlander, i like it! but the violence made me cover my eyes

Current Obsession: my ao3 WIP, i'm knee-deep in the outline doc (Witch-King fanfic)

Men with hair past their shoulders

That's it that's the post

Reblog if you agree

im guilty of having those huge blanks everywhere, but I like it in other fics so i kept it that way (safer to have too much blank space than something too wall-of-text-y was the reasoning), if any of my readers are here do tell which version (small or big paragraph break) you prefer 🖤

StripAllEmpties: Remove extra blank paragraphs from AO3 works

When you're reading on AO3, you may encounter fanworks that have lots of empty space between each paragraph.

AO3's help text (select the question mark at the top of the main text field when posting or editing a work) says this:

If you have two blank lines in a row between paragraphs, we will add extra whitespace in for you (with <p>&nbsp;</p>).

The site can't tell the difference between when a creator intends to add extra spaces (some people use blank paragraphs as scene break markers, instead of the <hr /> line code or text symbols) and when they do it by accident. Which means that there are a lot of AO3 works with unintentionally large spacing that can be hard to read, especially on mobile.

AO3's Unofficial Browser Tools FAQ links to the StripEmpties bookmarklet by carene-waterman as a solution for readers who dislike these empty spaces. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on all fics. This is because StripEmpties looks for the code <p>&nbsp;</p> (a paragraph containing a single non-breaking space) – and nothing but this code. Which means if there's an empty paragraph with two spaces in it, or one that's actually made up of a bunch of line breaks, those paragraphs won't get hidden.

That's why I made my own version of the StripEmpties bookmarklet. This one looks for paragraphs that contain nothing but whitespace – regular spaces ( ), non-breaking spaces (&nbsp;), empty line breaks (<br />), etc. – and hides them from view temporarily.

This is the code for what I'm calling the StripAllEmpties bookmarklet:

javascript: void(function (){var paragraphs = document.querySelectorAll('#workskin p');for (const para of paragraphs){if (!/\S/.test(para.innerText)){para.style.display = 'none'}}})();

Bookmarklets can be used on any browser or device. To add a bookmarklet to your browser, the easiest way I've found is to create a new browser bookmark of any random page (by selecting the bookmark/star/heart/etc. icon on your browser) and then edit the bookmark to replace the URL with the bookmarklet code. (You should also change the name of the bookmarklet too.) Save your changes, and you're done!

You can use the bookmarklet by going to any AO3 work, opening your bookmarks folder, and selecting the StripAllEmpties bookmarklet. If there were any blank paragraphs in the work, they will now be removed.

The bookmarklet's effect is temporary. If you want to bring the spaces back, all you have to do is refresh the page.

I hope this helps! Happy reading.
