Gullible Stories?

[unimaginative]

Anyone know of some really good series that have been written? Similar to the likes of Seth Perm's 'Claire's Career' series:

and George Tasker's 'A Very Personal Assaistant' two part series:

He also borrowed Seth Perm's character for one story (with permersion):

Anyone know of any similar stories and series?
Thanks

I do not enjoy reading about gullible people, and for that reason I hated this story: http://www.literotica.com/s/audition

Thus, you may like it.

There are also the 'Jenny' stories written by myself, Brummie, posted at SuperHeroineCentral and the Wizards Lair.

I've always felt that the narrator of a story had to be someone you could have a conservation with. Could I have a conversation with the character Claire? Not really, not unless you count "Yes sir" & "No sir" as expressive and nuanced communication. I'm not saying you can't have Claire as the protagonist, I'm saying using Claire as a mouthpiece for the story feels like I'm getting battle reports from a 7 year old girl. In my opinion "no narration" is better than "untrustworthy narration".

The "untrustworthy narrator" can be a useful tool -- but the author must use the Holden Caulfield approach consciously as a storytelling technique. Can the reader trust what's being said? If you converse with the narrator, do they lie, or bloviate, or conceal, or fantasize? Does the narrator's viewpoint develop and/or decay, as in FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON? If the narrator is untrustworthy, do other players point out the truth? Do the narrator's observations contradict their words? Hey, it's a great way to build tension.

I think it's great when I've reached the end of a story to realize that I've let the narrator--sometimes the villain--dupe me into seeing only what she/he wanted me to see when the other evidence was there. I like unusual stories, even ones without happy endings.
