Those of you who follow my AO3 account may get some unwanted notifications for older fics (if notifs go out for backdated fics; I'm not sure if they do). I got messaged by someone who had podficced one of my old SGA fics, so I decided to put up that one and a few of the other ones on AO3. Eventually I want to have all my SGA fic there (as much as they make me wince now), but there are so many of them - it's gonna be a slow process.
Anyway, I put up Cold Comforts (the podficced one - here's the podfic), Between the Lines, and Candle in the Dark before I got too sleepy to continue tonight. I think maybe tomorrow I'll do another batch of them. At some point I'd like to get all my 2006 SGA fic on AO3 just to use the stats feature to find out how much I actually wrote that year. It was the year I got back into writing fanfic after a few years away from it -- and I, uh. Wrote a lot of it. A lot. It would be interesting to find out exactly how much.

I wouldn't call it unwanted, though; I subscribe to a bunch of people, and not all of them are exclusively into fandoms I care about, and I'm perfectly fine with deleting a notification if it's for a fic that doesn't look to be up my alley or that looks as if it'll be incomprehensible because I don't know the fandom. (That said, I like SG:A. So!)

As others have said, yes, we get notifications for posted fic, backdated or not.
But speaking for myself -- spam away! I subscribe to people because I want to know when a story goes up. It only takes a second to check and delete the email if it's a fandom I don't follow.
I save fanfic on my HD. When I was new to the Internet, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find my way back to whatever site it was on when I wanted to reread. Now I know that some authors decide to pull their fic for various reasons; if it's saved on my HD, I don't lose it. (Except I seldom remember the title or author of the story I want to read -- but I know it's there, somewhere.)
I'm always happy to see older fics appear on AO3. I enjoy revisiting old friends that have slipped into the background of my memory, and seeing the announcement is a great reminder of the "golden oldies". (Seriously, you and Lamardeuse are two of my favorite SGA authors; I always finish your stories with a smile on my face.) I spent the morning reading "Cold Comfort" and "Candle in the Dark" -- aware that I'd read them before, but details in my memory were very vague; it was a treat to delve into them again. (We will resolutely ignore the housework I let slide. <g>)
So, no need to apologize for moving older fic to AO3. Instead, thank you for the reminder of good stories.
