#GameOfThrones Author Wants To Kill You

Game of Thrones has become legendary for building up beloved characters, only to kill them off mercilessly, much to the shock and surprise of audiences.  Indeed, it can be rather traumatic to see such characters we’ve all grown to love and care about so viciously slaughtered.  But for TRUE fans, now is your opportunity to join Ned, Rob, Oberyn, and all the rest… for a modest fee, of course.

“Game of Thrones” author George R.R. Martin is offering just that chance to help raise money for the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary and the Food Depot in Sante Fe, New Mexico. Fans who visit his page on celebrity fundraising site Prizeo can make a donation and be entered to win a trip for two to New Mexico where they’ll ride a helicopter tour the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary with Martin.

Donation levels range from $10 to $20,000 and the larger to gift the more opportunity there is to receive goodies. For example, $100 gets a donor a campaign T-shirt and a thank you video. $4,500 could yield a script of the first ever episode signed by the cast and crew and $7,500 snags a pair of tickets to the Season 5 premiere of the “Game of Thrones” television series.

But the biggest prize goes to the first fans with deep pockets to ante up.

For $20,000, one male and one female character will be named after the donor in a future novel with the author promising the character will “certainly meet a grisly death.”

If you have read his books or watched the show, you know he means it.

Man, oh man.  If I had $20k to burn, I’d totally do this.  To have a character based on me in my all time favorite book series, AND to have them meet a patented GRRM-style grizzly demise?  *NERDGASM*

I think its great George is doing this for charity, and it’s a fantastic opportunity for fans as well.  What would you want your character to be like?  And how would you want them to die?  Personally, I’d want to be some drunken Hedge Knight killed by one of Melissandra’s shadow babies!  How cool would that be?

How Would You Want To Be Killed Off In Game Of Thrones?
