George RR Martin will murder you for $20k

George RR Martin, writer of the 'Game of Thrones' series, is willing to kill you in high style for $20,000.

The slaying will happen on written page, of course, and the whole scheme is part of Martin's unique campaign to raise money for the Santa Fe, his hometown, Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary and the Food Depot.

For $20,000 you get to decide the rank you want your character to be, starting from peasant and ending with lord. Martin will then write the story of your death for the next 'A Song of Ice and Fire' novel.

The downside is that RR Martin will, under no circumstances, agree to kill you for less than $20,000 but he will offer you a T-shirt and a visit to the wolf sanctuary instead.

'I've always been fond of wolves... direwolves in Westeros, and real wolves in the real world. US wolf populations hit critical lows during the 20th century, and finding a way for humans to co-exist with this majestic creatures is an important part of the conservation movement,' talked George RR Martin about his motivation.
