On IdiotPlot:
Originally, I was about to delete the entry, but the more I thought about it, the more it had merit. I currently have several disagreements with Zaptech's reasons for deleting the entry. Including:
* Movarth was NOT an expert on vampires. The entire reason he came to the author of ''Immortal Blood'' was to learn about them when he didn't know anything about them. Further, it's implied that the narrator deliberately withheld just enough information that Movarth wouldn't suspect the truth.
* The reason not suspecting Alva is an IdiotBall is because it's made very clear that she is trying to seduce every person she can (possibly regardless of gender). Several men comment on this. We could dismiss this as them all being brainwashed or thinking with their dicks, but one man (Benor) specifically says he refuses to sleep with her until she leaves Hroggar. So that means almost ''every other person'' she seduced never had any alarm bells go off or realized that Alva was flirting and/or intimate with several other people at the same time. We can't even dismiss it as illusion magic since, again, Benor kept to his principles.
* An IdiotPlot is simply multiple characters carrying an IdiotBall. If you agree that Alva, Laelette and Thonnir all hold one, then that sounds like an IdiotPlot to me. Again, that was the reason I didn't delete the entry myself
