Summary from a Flyer
From the fanzine flyer issued in 1996: "DIFFERENT ODDS, an all Garak/Bashir zine based on "The Die is Cast." What if Garak hadn't been stuck with Odo on the Romulan ship? What if Dr. Bashir had been the other passenger on the runabout? What if Enabran Tain had ordered Garak to torture . . . Bashir? Each of our eight authors has a different light to shed on this burning question:"
From the Editorial
Welcome to Different Odds, an all Garak/Bashir zine.
This is my first attempt at publishing a zine, and I came to it kicking and screaming. It grew out of a discussion on the internet with several of the authors, who are among the best known Deep Space Nine slash authors on the net. After seeing "The Die is Cast," some of us were infuriated that the friendship between Garak and Bashir was dropped in favor of a relationship between Garak and Odo. Why would Garak worry so much about torturing Odo—why couldn't he be forced to interrogate Bashir instead? Ah, inspiration! One by one, we capitulated and wrote our stories. And here they are.
Different Odds is a zine by and for obsessives: all the stories have much in common, of course— the situation, the sexual tension between Garak and his captive, in his hands for the first time, Tain's presence and his influence on Garak—but no two stories are alike in more than superficial ways.
We are truly privileged to have artwork by [Janis C] and TACS to complement our fiction.
