Author George R.R. Martin has a donation campaign to help save the wolves, doing something witty and innovative! Giving the public a chance to donate money at the crowd funding campaign, the money that is collected will go to Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, sheltering more than 60 wolves and wolf-dogs, and the Food Depot of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Martin writes, “I’ve always been fond of wolves… direwolves in Westeros, and real wolves in the real world. U.S. wolf populations hit critical lows during the twentieth century, and finding a way for humans to co-exist with this majestic creature is an important part of the conservation movement.”
So where does the Game of Thrones come into all of this? Well, rather than taking place on screen, it actually will effect his next novel! All donators will be automatically entered into a pool of people to be randomly selected to appear on the show, and be killed off in the next book in the A Song of Fire and Ice series. Along with $20,000, the winner will be able to choose their title in Westeros, including, but not limited to a Lord, Lady, Septon, Maester or Knight. Of course, the details of the death are totally up to Martin – but who cares how you die? You’ll be recognized in the famous book series by a famous author and $20,000! What have you got to lose?!
