Is it possible to write a shoujo light novel?

Post by My Novels Are Light »

I was wondering about this for a long time...

I've seen a lot of Shoujo manga and I haven't really seen or read any Shoujo light novels.

There are actually quite a few shoujo novels. In comparison, the numbers are less, so they may not appear so significant. Also, some titles are pretty good, so much so that they don't seem like shoujo novels despite them actually being so!
God!!
You need not forgive me.
For those I love,
The violence brought about by sinful men
Shall now be used once more.
If you were created to save this world,
If there is a single shred of hope left for the future of mankind,
I am very sorry, but, please begone!

Free plug: Maria-sama ga Miteru is also shoujo - but that's a pretty broad category.

It's not mahou shoujo, despite the strange white ball of light in Yumi's hand on the cover of volume 1.
