You can change the posting date on a story on the AO3
Saturday, June 4th, 2022 09:03 amMany thanks to everyone for writing, beta-reading, reading, and commenting in
fkficfest this year! We have 3 more new stories yet to reveal after today.
If I may, I wanted to point out for anyone who didn't know that you can change the posting date on your fest story from the day you loaded it to the day I released it. A reason that you might want to consider doing this is that it lifts your story in the "recents" on the AO3 -- not just FK's list, but the overall list. Some readers browse those lists, and I think that the release date might possibly attract a few more eyes than the loading date when the gap gets large.
This is entirely up to each author! I know some people prefer the pure accuracy of the loading date. And it could indeed be irritating if someone were to overuse the ability to change the date.
But just so you know. ♥
