Trivia)
1) A ride this has been! A solid 14 matches plus a Parody match! Feels like it's been forever since we've had one, huh?
2) The longest of the KWCEs proper goes to KWCE #55: Gigantis vs. Pagos, running at 7,484 words. Second runner up goes to KWCE #54: Zone Fighter vs. Eleking vs. Neronga, at 6,521 words. However, the longest KWCE-related material goes to #Spooks666: Female Titan vs. Godzilla and His Amazing Friends, counting up to a whopping 11,604 words!
3) Had our first Monster Month in a while with March of the Baragons! With a total of 4 submissions, we had a good haul!
4) Lots of new writers this time! Some veteran, some debuting, but all welcomed!
5) Customarily, I'd usually have an independent Parody section for Parody matches; but given that there is only one, best to include it.
6) Farewell 2020, you terrible year! 2021 is my new best friend!
