We all know what redshirts are. No? Huh… Well here’s an explanation.

Over at Monster Hunter Nation, Larry Correia is auctioning off redshirts. But this is for a good cause, to help a friend get a kidney transplant. More information can be found here.

It’s for a good cause. Really. I mean, it’s a good cause when thousands of people are slaughtered in a book. It’s a great and noble experience when you can open up a book and point to a page and say “See? I got eaten by a thousand zombies… man that was gruesome!”

Don’t believe me? Ask Joe Buckley how it feels. He’ll tell you it’s flattering that so many authors want to kill you.

Really.
