* AuthorsSavingThrow: Roy Thomas claims in an introduction in the first novel that Sonja's vow to only make love to a man who could defeat her but otherwise be chaste is a "conscious, willed thing. It is Sonja who sets the standard, and who will mate with the man who can best her with sword or axe. No rape here, just a set of standards strange to our modern eyes."
* CreatorsFavorite: Roy Thomas has expressed this about Red Sonja.
* DearNegativeReader: Roy Thomas said he's had to defend his BestHerToBedHer decision to literally ''generations'' (as in multiple incarnations of twenty years) of Red Sonja fans since the Seventies.
* DivorcedInstallment: The owners of ''Red Sonja'' are no longer the same people who own the rights to ''Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian''. Ironically, Dynamite Comics have the right to her character but not Conan and Marvel has the rights to Conan but not to Red Sonja.
* ExiledFromContinuity: A soft example with Red Sonja no longer owned by Marvel comics.
* GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld: Roy Thomas has done work for Red Sonja in comic, novel, and nonfiction form but doesn't nor never has owned her.
* LineToGod: Roy Thomas is remarkably easy to get to talk to about Red Sonja as many interviewers have found out. He has answered every question about her that fans have posed at cons, online, or via interviews.
* NetworkToTheRescue: Dynamite helped save the character from modern obscurity.
* PromotedFanboy: Gail Simone said that Red Sonja was this to her.
* WordOfGay: Red Sonja had her bisexuality confirmed by Gail Simone even though the comics didn't leave much to chance.
* WordOfGod: Both Roy Thomas and Creator/GailSimone have extensive things to say about their interpretations of the character as well as runs.

* SavedFromDevelopmentHell:
** A new film adaptation of ''Red Sonja'' has been discussed for several years but the failure of ''Film/{{Conan The Barbarian|2011}}'' in 2011 shelved it. Following the success of ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'' in 2017, the idea was resurrected, with Creator/BryanSinger set to direct... then was put on hold once again in 2019 due to the sexual assault allegations toward Singer.
** In June 2019 it was announced that Singer had been replaced by ''Series/{{Transparent}}'' creator Joey Soloway. He quietly dropped from it afterwards, but he'll still retain writer and producer credits.
** M. J. Bassett was then tapped to direct, and shooting of the film started in August 2022. The cast includes Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz as Sonja, Creator/WallisDay, Creator/RobertSheehan and Martyn Ford.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/RoseMcGowan was a frontrunner to play Red Sonja in a remake in the 2000s, and there was even [[https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/c_fill,f_auto,fl_progressive,g_center,h_675,pg_1,q_80,w_1200/19cyjed35zaisjpg.jpg artwork]] produced of her as the character. She however suffered serious injuries while filming ''Film/PlanetTerror'' that meant she could be paralyzed in her right arm if it was hurt again - and the physical nature of the role meant she had to drop out of it.
** Creator/HannahJohnKamen was set to play Sonja but dropped out in March 2022.
