No Fate Project presents: Where’s My Jetpack?‪!‬ No Fate Project

We're going on hiatus for three main reasons: firstly life has gotten in the way, secondly our patreon wasn't sufficient to cover our costs, and finally solidarity with the Writers' Strike.

We'd like to thank all of our listeners and contributors. We'll see you in the future!
