Source: The Mary Sue
George R.R. Martin may delight in killing off beloved fictional characters, but he has a soft spot in his gleefully sadistic heart for wolves. To that end, hes ponying up the best crowdfunding perk ever for a campaign to benefit The Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary in his home state of New Mexico. Commence hunting through couch cushions.
Two Martyrsone male, one femalewill get the chance to see themselves meet a gruesome end in a future A Song of Ice and Fire novel (however many of those there end up being). Via the crowdfunding page: You can choose your characters station in the world (lordling, knight, peasant, whore, lady, maester, septon, anything) and you will certainly meet a grisly death! I trust you, George.
Other, lesser rewards offered are the chance to have breakfast with Martin (for $15,000), a pair of tickets to the season 5 premiere ($7,500), a thank you e-card (for my fellow poor folks at the $25 range) and George R.R. Martins worn hat for $7,500. What about the fire suspenders, George?! The campaign will also benefit The Food Depot, an amazing local charity that helps the tens of thousands of people in North New Mexico.
Donate any money at all and youll be entered to win a special prize:

I'm too poor to die, is that it? Guess i'll have to go for a thank you Ecard, but i wonder how much just to name a character Bianca? Just a small bit, all i need is a mention. I think it will bring my name back into style. I only met two in my life.
