==Issue 2==
Free for All 2 was published in April 1993 and contains 109 pages. Many issues came with part of one "Walk a Different Path, part one" (28 pages) as a loose-leaf addition, which makes the page count of this zine confusing.
This zine was 80% Bodie/Doyle.
From the editorial: 
* Walk a Different Path, Part 2 by Anne Carr (part two, Bodie has left CI5 and begun a lucrative writing career. Doyle is still in CI5 and partnered with someone else. When Bodie finds out some info on some old Merc pals, he volunteers to give it to Cowley and subsequently work with Doyle a bit again.) (Professionals) (1)
* Green Grows the Holly by Barbara T (It's beginning to look a lot like Solstice. Klaus is investigating am artifact's disappearance, so he automatically thinks of Dorian. He's right as usual, of course, but there are aspects he doesn't quite expect to this, has elves.) (Eroica) (35)
* "King Henry's Wager" by E. J. Pellham-Stewart is an historical AU crossover with Tris/Alex (fandom names for RPS involving Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin). (Tris/Alex) (Tris is a nobelman in Henry VIII court. One night, he catches a thief by the name of Alex trying to break in to the palace. He bargains for the young man's life by betting the king that he can pass off the ragged thief as a noble at a court three months later.) (Tris/Alex) (47)

===Reactions and Reviews: Issue 2===
==Issue 3==
Free for All 3 had an initial proposed publication date of March 31, 1993, but must have been published later than that.
* The Strangest Things by E. J. Pellham-Stewart (Pros) (Doyle is turning 40 and finding it harder than he thought to come to terms with the fact that he needs ti make some life changes (while partner Bodie nobly refrains from throttling him...for the most part)
* Walk-ins Welcome by Merlyn Smith (Pros) (second in AU "Transformation" series explores the question: Now that Raymond Doyle is back among the living and the curse broken- now what?)
* fiction by Salazar
