Twine wrapped every alphanumeric character in my story in a link tag
Dude... I don't even know how this happened. See a screenshot here:
As a result, Twine crashes when trying to load the project. My initial thought was "okay, no big deal, just open the HTML file and do a find/replace to remove all the tags." But the HTML file in the library is 32 MB with only two dozen or so line breaks. It crashes any text editor I open it in.
Is there ANY way I can recover my work? And any ideas how this happened in the first place?

From memory it had something to do with the "Automatically update markup links when Passage is renamed" feature not working correctly (possible due to non alphanumerical characters being included in the Passage name) and resulting in passage looking like yours.
I don't beleive there was a solution except to create a new version of your story using the Import From File option with either a Backup created using the Archive option or a Story HTML file generated via the Publish to File option.
