Do you group semi-related works into series? If so, does moving a work into the series change the publication date or otherwise tag an older story as new?
If you find a typo or glaring grammar/punctuation mistake in an older work do you leave it or fix it? Same question as above- does that tag it as new?
Do you ever delete stories/series that don't see much traffic?
The reason I ask is because I've got a few standalone stories that could belong in a series. They are ficlets of the SG-1 collective team during downtime set post series, but I don't want to annoy people by having them marked as new. I've been on an organizing kick this month but sadly couldn't find this info in the FAQs.

I do go back and fix typos. I also tweak spots where maybe I used a word multiple times within a few paragraphs, or I fix an awkward sentence. No, that definitely does not change the dates at all, nor does it push it back up on the fandom list or anything.
You're all good to group away!
I rarely re-read posted fics, because most likely I will find something to edit and just never move on to other stories. However, if I ever stumble on a typo or a grammar mistake, I would fix it, and go to any other website that I posted the fic on before such as FFN and fix it there too. It is maddening to me to know that there is a typo that I left.
