If you watch the HBO series Game of Thrones or read the George R.R. Martin A Song of Ice and Fire series that the show is based on, you’re familiar with the author of the books. Martin has a number of fans and it sometimes seems that the series might never end.
For some reason there are fans out there who fear he might die before he finishes the franchise. What does the 65-year-old Martin think about those fans? He told the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger in an interview exactly what he thought of those speculating on his death.
“I find that question, you know, pretty offensive, frankly, when people start speculating about my death and my health,”Martin said, adding “so f**k you to those people.”
Regardless, Martin has noted in the past that he has told Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss major plotlines and how the series will end so they can finish without him if needed.

Serial killer of fictional characters George R.R. Martin recently announced that a $20,000 donation to his Prizeo campaign would earn that person the opportunity to be killed off in The Song Of Ice And Fire series. Well one charitable person who has sacrificed himself is Facebook employee David Goldblatt of San Francisco, California.
The funds raised go to Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary and the Food Depot in Santa Fe, New Mexico – Martin’s home town. Despite his tendency to kill off all of our favorite characters, he really is a great guy for doing this.
