I have a few “middle-aged” completed fics on AO3 from 5+ years ago that still regularly get kudos and bookmarks. I’ve wanted to add the LLF Comment Project template to the notes to encourage comments because I love interacting with readers. However, I’m concerned that this will change the “last updated date” on the fics and make it appear as if I’ve added new content (when I have not, all the fics are completed). What’s the etiquette here?
Hi @snarky24,
I just tried updating the author notes and even added the "Long Live Feedback Comment Project" tag to a fic of mine and the "Updated" date did not change.
I think the "Updated" date only changes when you add a new chapter to your fic.
Hope that helps alleviate your concerns! If I'm wrong and you do see a change in the update date, please do let me know.
