ABOUT
Labors Of November is an upcoming Pentiment fanzine, it will be the sequel of the Palimpsest zine which was released last year. We are aiming for the zine to be released in November 2025, just in time for Pentiment’s anniversary.
Labors Of November will feature fanworks about the labor of people of Tassing in the fields, the workshops, and the Abbey’s shadow over daily life, and how the common folks react to the imposed changes. We will see the fruits of the labor in communal joy, hard-won feasts, and how history gets rewritten or preserved.
