George R. R. Martin Will Gladly Kill You

by Alanna Bennett

He's heartlessly slaughtered roughly half the people you love in his Song Of Ice And Fire series and its accompanying Game Of Thrones HBO adaptation — and now he'll heartlessly slaughter you! George R. R. Martin's looking to get into the business of killing real people, and all for one low low payment of $20,000!

This great deal comes as part of a new Prizeo campaign by Martin, working to raise money for the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary and the Food Depot of Santa Fe. Martin's killing of whomever wins the top $20,000 prize is fictional, of course, to take place through the written world only. Here's the low-down on the opportunity:

At this level, you'll get the incredibly exclusive opportunity to have George name a character after you in a future A Song of Ice and Fire novel. There is one male character and one female character available. You can choose your character's station in the world (lordling, knight, peasant, whore, lady, maester, septon, anything) and you will certainly meet a grisly death! You will also get all of the above rewards (with the exception of "extra rewards")

Gotta love the sheer enthusiasm centered on "you will certainly meet a grisly death!"

The next prize down is the $15,000 opportunity to have breakfast with Martin; there's also a $7,500 tickets to the Season 5 Game Of Thrones premiere, and everyone from smallest donation up is automatically entered into a raffle for the chance to take a tour of the wolf sanctuary and take a helicopter ride with Martin.

These all sound like incredibly exciting opportunities for A Song Of Ice And Fire fans with some extra cash to burn. After all, Game Of Thrones fans saw just this week (spoiler alert) Martin's grisly murder abilities through the untimely demise of the beloved Prince Oberyn.
