Trivia)
1) Whew, 19 matches? Pretty confident that's more than last year's.
2) First year with the KWCE's own "Monster Month" event in place!
3) The longest match we currently have for the year is Match #18, at 10,771 words; Match #27 comes in a close second place at 7,831 words.
4) Match #<3 wasn't meant to be the only parody match for the year; unfortunately, the finale Shrek arc is still in progress, so things just kinda left Rise of Kumaso-Kamagidon hanging there.
