Game of Thrones author offers to kill fan

Game of Thrones author George RR Martin is offering one lucky fan of the popular show a chance to be sacrificially slaughtered in an effort to raise money for charity.

For $21,000 the author and consultant to the HBO program will create a character named after the winning bidder, promising they will suffer a "grisly death".

The money raised will go towards the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary and the Food Depot in New Mexico.

If $21,000 is too steep, Martin is offering fans other ways to get closer to the show.

For $4800 a fan can buy a singed script for the first episode of Game of Thrones or win one of the author's trademark sailor caps for $8000.

$16,000 will get you a breakfast with Martin.

"You and a friend will be flown out (from wherever you are in the world) to meet me in Santa Fé, where we'll share a helicopter ride to the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary," writes Martin.

"If there's anything you have ever wanted to ask me, here's your chance!"
