My novels

Introducing my novels~ There are a total of four that I'm currently working on. And I had already abandoned three! Gosh...I'm too greedy XD
Here's the list:
Chinese
1. 爱上阿多尼斯 (Loving Adonis)
This is only the working title. Trying to come up with a better name =P It's a story about ordinary high school students. Typical love story I have to say XP but I added some "Hana Yori Dango" elements in it. I had fun writing this story, though, 'cause it doesn't require much plot planning XD Currently, it is 150 pages long and it's on hiatus ('cause I'm working on my English novel) So....yeah.
2. 夜 • 女神 (Night Goddess)
This has a fantasy storyline with a little mixture of sci-fi elements. It's the saddest story amongst the four. It's a bit complicated, the relationships and the plot and all. I don't know what's up with my brain coming up with such a story. Haha. It involves mythology, reincarnation, cloning, hatred, unnrequited love and different dimensions/worlds. The main character had to go through so much that I almost felt sorry for her =.="
3. 无名 (Unnamed)
That's not the name. I didn't manage to give it a name before I abandoned it. It is only 14 pages long. I abandoned it because I started writing it without thorough planning and thinking. The plot is totally outrageous! Lolx~ It's actually the original "Loving Adonis" but I changed the plot and characters completely.(Sorry, I can't remember what's the plot. Teehee)
English
1. Blood Moon
The novel I'm currently working on (non-stop >.>) I am TOO into vampires, goth, blood and stuff lately (thanks to Twilight, VK and Night World) that it kinda scares me. Haha. I was watching a werewolf movie one day (can't remember the name) when I saw a really, really scary bright red moon. I thought it was cool~ And then when I read the ending credits, I saw an interesting female name. At that moment, the plot of this novel just popped up in my head. I can't help it. I just HAD to write it out. But the details came from further thinking. The general plot and the characters were already in my head, ready to be written out. I used the name I saw from the ending credits as my female protagonist's name. Okay, back to the plot. It's about vampires, werewolves, mythical creatures, their society and vampire-human romance (obviously). There are two main male characters. One is a complete gentleman and angel; the other is a total sadistic demon king. It's 93 pages long for now. I'm trying to reach 100 by today (after a break. I've been sitting in my room for almost 24 hours writing it XD).
2. Twofold: Princes of Gryphon
I had only written a pre-chapter and a few sentences for the first chapter. That's only 3 pages. T.T I had already written down the plot but I'm just to busy to start writing it again. Obviously it's on hiatus, too. It's about two princes being separated on birth. And they sort of fell in love with the same girl. This heroine is totally different from the other girls in my novel. She's not lady-like, elegant, defendless or having any damsel-in-distress quality. She, in fact, is the hero (ahem, I mean heroine) of the story. This one has a fantasy theme, too. It's set in medieval time.
3. Unnamed A
This one would be the English version of "Loving Adonis" . It's not that I translate it into English. They just happened to have similar plots. This is the first ever novel I wrote. I started it in 2005 but abandoned it a year later for the same reason as my unnamed Chinese novel. It's 50 pages long. The more I read books like Harry Potter, the more I think this novel is rubbish. So I don't see why I should keep writing it. XD
4. Unnamed B
It's the abandoned, original version of "Twofold". Most parts of the plot are the same but the characters are very different. I had written about 40 pages for this one. Actually, I like the plot but the problem was that I couldn't relate the parts of the plot logically. It seemed weird. =.=
If I am to become a novelist, my signiture genre would be fantasy. XD Three out of four of my (still working on) novels fall under that genre.
