Yeah, I always redate, even if it's a fandom of two and I'm the first fic in the fandom. Mostly because I like having the date on the fic be the date it actually went live, but it also does make a difference in feedback even for medium/small fandoms.

If there's any movement at all in the tag, people will get to the last thing they remember seeing and not scroll past it. So if your fic pops up under any other fics when it first goes live, it'll reduce your traffic. Redating is really the only way to manage that.

Okay, I'm going to redate then. Thank you for the advice, coalies!
