Hey! So I'm a new writer on ao3 and I and a doubt regarding editing a fic that's already posted...I noticed a couple of errors and I want to edit it out but idk if that'll make the fic come to the top of the tag again....I've read comments on other authors fics asking the writer to not repost their work again and again but they were apparently editing the posted work and it makes it's way to the top of the tags....is this true or has ao3 done something to correct it?
the thing you're talking about is called "front-dating" and it's totally fine if you're updating your fic and it comes to the top, in my experience people typically frown upon front-dating the fic multiple times for no reason other than wanting it to be at the top
