*checks 300+ planned music video list* I actually have a Jack/Rai video on the waiting list. When I reup XS - cause my movie maker in all its wonderful freebie glory corrupted the collections AGAIN - I'll be sure to post it here. ^^;

AH FANSFANSFANS *___*!
My Fanfic Fate Strafe is actually turning towards a very Jaimundo flavor.... It'll just take a while to get there.
I will enjoy seeing art from all of you... I would also be interested on hearing your views on the pairing~!

I think in a normal setting without the "take over the world" or "monk fighting for good" factors Rai and Jack would at the very least have been friends. Actually all of them probably. XP But Jack and Rai seem to match up pretty good. They'd probably share some of the same musical interests though also be interested in their own different kinds. They'd probably like to watch the same things on TV. Jack likes winter sports....Rai likes summer oriented ones - surfing at least - so they both have slight athletic tendencies. ...Where am I going with this? .... I just think they'd be a good bit different but also have a lot in common and I think that makes a good couple. I don't think two people go together good when they love EXACTLY the same things. That'd be like dating yourself. o__O
Forgive me. I just rambled senselessly. ^^; But as soon as I finish up my Jet/Zuko video and take my Avatar episodes off the computer I'll reup my XS ones and get started on the RaiJack video first. It's going to be to Jack Off Jill's "Strawberry Gashes" if you know them. *shrugs and shuffles back to moviemaker obediently to fix completely ruined video*

AH~! yes, Ryosei, I get what you're saying... I have an illustration I want to do of Rai and Jack crossing a surfboard and a snowboard.
They are total OPPOSITES and that's what makes it so fun, as well as they have been the only characters to really SWITCH PLACES and understand what things were like for the other one.
Plus, "The Dreamstalker" has some tough to beat evidance, for sure.
I'm tired of all the fanfiction people write about them though =_=; it always ends in a) Jack Dying or b) Jack turning good. If anything, Rai would switch over to the dark side again >.O! I have seen a couple of EXCELLENT fics though. Even if they fell in love, they would still have a soul-deep rivalry and sort of childlike, harmless hatred for eachother.
The sappy ANGST Jaimundo needs to end =_= Seriously. Because NEITHER of them are angst-flavored.

...Hey, the angst-flavor isn't always terrible.
Just usually.
But then, I reeeally don't mind OOC when there's so little to go on.
...
As I'm technically a newbie to the fandom, peoples think I shouldn't be picking a base THIS early...
But really?
NO.
Chack makes me gag, and pretty much everything else, except for Jack/G!Jack, is enjoyable but not memorable or really sense-making, from what all I've seen.
But then, I only slept 3 hours last night and have been up for over 14 hours.
o-o;;;;;;;;
Goodnightloves.

The angst really does have to stop with this pairing. I read a great fanfic with it...but then Chase killed Jack...and Rai still talks to him O.o the ending was wierd.

Oh, no, some angst is fine, but they overdo it >_
I have seen a few excellent pieces of art, but the arters always delete them >.
I read the same fic you did, FbC, my sister turned me on to it, but there was something towards the end that seemed really empty and rushed.
Let me put it this way, it's fun to put angst in XS, but there should still be a LOT of fun to balance it out. Especially with a pairing like Gravity (cos I'm calling it that because it just works... sounds better than JackRai or Jaimundo), you have the two pranksters of the show and everyone wants to see them bleed and hurt.
That or they kill off Clay >:
Let me see if I can find the 50snapshots fic, I think it's a masterpiece, it really shows what their relationship would be like.

I have an idea for a fanfic now... I think 'Gravity' would totally work if you did an AU fic of Jack starting out as a Xiaolin monk alongside his best friend Raimundo and the other monks. Jack, however, would always feel out of place; partly because of his unique coloring, but he also just felt like he belonged somewhere else. Then Chase would come along and introduce himself, disguised as a good guy, and show Jack the "wonders of evil". Jack would change sides, to the dismay of Raimundo, and then Raimundo would try for a long time to try and get him back to good, for good. They'd end up having a secret relationship, hiding it from everyone just so they could somehow be together. Then Chase, who would be Jack's master (as in apprentice-wise), finds out and is all jealous and tries to destroy Raimundo... Hmmm...
Oops! Prattled on too much. Why do I do that? o.o;; Sorry! sweatdrop

I like it, yeah. But there's a deep reason behind why I call it Gravity.
I had this dream where I was jack, and he was fighting with Raimundo, and before long, they were still fighting, but making out. And then they just sat there, insulting eachother, but still holding tight as if they couldn't get close enough. It was a force between them, and no, I was not thinking of Gravitation at the time >_< But it felt like this energy, this increadible WEIGHT like magnets between them. That's why I call it gravity.

Ohh, sounds interesting. I think that Rai should turn evil again. He was good at it. With Jack's smarts, and Rai's help, they could tottaly rule the world...and lock Chase, Wuya and Hannibla in the Yin-yang world...while Jack pretends to be good, with a secret relation ship with Rai, after stealing all the Wu and hiding it where even Dojo can't find it, and Rai and Jack run away to gather to biuld an evil empire...... You can use it DeZ, I don't care. I'm working on to may fanfics as it is... sweatdrop Yet I've posted none on fanfiction yet...>.> I gotta get to that.

Nah. I've got enough on my plate too xD!
Also tired of Jealous!Chase... wouldn't it be interesting if he pushed along their relationship... Raimundo as a cat warrior is interesting, and also think of what would have happened if the monks had lost that soccer game to Chase. AH, so many possiblilities.
