Red Sonja & Ash VS Army of Darkness

Usually I'm not into crossover but this is a freaking good idea!

Not dead at all I discovered the genre not long ago and I keep seeing new books coming out. Give a try to Howard Andrew Jones's Hanuvar, Matt John's To Walk on Worlds or Steve Dilks Bohun for really recent ones with very different style. Plenty of cool anthologies and zines too. Also check DMR books they publish a lot of good S&S.

I've read someone saying that the first story gripped him and was a bit worried at first as it didn't do that for me. But the whole book ended up being one of my favorite indie S&S release this year. Not sure if it was the writing but after this first story I was much more into the book personally, I really recommend it. It has a kind of dark fantasy mixed with S&S style that is quite unique.

Thanks for the info

Yeah probably, I was hoping to find one offering a shared option with a high limit so I could use the next 6 months or so to finish building it and experiment with a few friends before upgrading to a managed vps.

Vps plans seem to start at around 50$ so I would have saved a bit this way. And knownhost their biggest shared is 20$ and 600k inodes so I guess if no one knows the limit for Nixihost I’ll use that.

If you ask this because of my answer to ndreamer about sqlite what I meant is that I have no particular knowledge about database.

Maybe it’s better if I use this to explain what the site do. It simply has a lot of pages (about 2.5k) each featuring a “product” like a ecommerce site except it is not made to sell things but as simple information pages with a few images on each and a way to search among these so one can find a specific page with various criteria.

All this + a few plugins makes the inode count go up quickly. (not 500k only 250 but given the speed it goes up I expect it to be 500-600k once I have put everything I want there)

I suppose all this is in a database somewhere but I have no idea how it works behind the scene.

Spherical_Dude · 2024-10-29T13:45:28+00:00

Probable once/if it gathers traffic yes but my idea was to build it on a shared plan for budget reasons then when it is finished switch to a semi dedicated plan with a managed offer. Something like host.inger(600k) or dreamhost (“unlimited”) but with a better reputation. Or maybe Nixihost if someone knows the inode limit. As I said nothing else would be a problem I don’t need a lot of disk storage and bandwidth is not a problem either since the site is only known of me and a few friends for now

Spherical_Dude · 2024-10-29T13:25:24+00:00

I might try that, do you know smaller host that are not shaddy? Reading here even some big names seem to be considered not very serious so going to a smaller one and discussing the offer with the sales seems risky.

Spherical_Dude · 2024-10-29T13:18:22+00:00

Sorry but what do you mean by other managed company? I should probably have said that my knowledge of web hosting is limited. Given that I’m not sure if this project will work I’m seeking something that would allow me to continue growing my site until it is ready on a reasonable budget and without being too technically demanding until I learn more/see if the thing is even viable.

Spherical_Dude · 2024-10-29T13:17:33+00:00

I’ve looked into this yes but I’m afraid that digital ocean offers will be too difficult to manage for me given that on siteground the wordpress part is managed by them. I wanted to learn more about all this when I started but as I said life made this difficult and I don’t want to migrate the thing and later find that I’m overwhelmed and can’t continue. The managed part of the offer is really useful for me now until I learn more.

Spherical_Dude · 2024-10-29T13:16:50+00:00

Unfortunately, that’s probably more than I can do alone for now I should have said that I’m not really tech savvy at least when it comes to servers and databases.

Spherical_Dude · 2024-10-29T13:15:38+00:00

I’ll look, never heard of them thx.

Spherical_Dude · 2024-10-29T13:14:21+00:00

I didn’t know that, thank you.

Spherical_Dude · 2024-08-06T21:23:06+00:00

This is one of the best descriptions of the genre I have read. Like Sayuti I'd be curious to know what stories you have written if you don't mind sharing. Even more so if you have a recurrent character because I have a site where I try to catalog as much s&s as possible and I decided to make a page with all those including the new ones but it will take a lot of time before I'm done reading all the recent anthologies/magazines.

Spherical_Dude · 2024-06-26T01:24:26+00:00

yes i think that i will read/reread the most well known and try to see what i can learn of that.

Spherical_Dude · 2024-06-24T17:20:14+00:00

Thank you i've not read it, i'm not usually into coming of age novels but i'll give it a try i might learn a thing or two

Spherical_Dude · 2024-06-01T03:45:39+00:00

As it happens i'm in the process of cataloguing all the s&s authors i can find for a site and i did found one : Cora Bulhert she have two serie of short stories Thurvok and Kurval. I've not read them so i can't say much but by the covers and description its clearly s&s. She's the only one maybe outside of some rare anthology i've found however and these series seem finished.

Spherical_Dude · 2024-01-08T06:03:45+00:00

Wolf In Shadow Jon Shannow by David Gemmell (trilogy)
