In the meantime, you can remove/comment out replace_br_with_p: true or add replace_br_with_p:false to [forums.spacebattles.com].

You could also download the story from ffnet instead. It's not as far along, but it is being updated regularly.
So it's not a problem with default FFF (mostly) but that a fix for one rare issue (old fics) causes a break with a different rare issue (the '<' symbol appearing in fics). That's interesting, and I'm re-downloading the fic now.
Sorry for the noob question, but how do I look at the source code, specifically for that feature and the sections of the code it interacts with? I couldn't find it in the github page.
Edit: found what I think might be the specific page (def replace_br_with_p(body) on htmlheuristics.py), and I can see why you have difficulty with it. Ouch.
