## History

### New Writers

Evangeline welcomed the new students who were hoping to join the writing staff of The Catullan. Among them was Bela Malhotra, who gave handjobs to six of the other writers in exchange for them voting for her to move on to the next round. One of those writers was Evangeline's boyfriend. When Evangeline and another writer, Jo, saw Bela at a party, they brushed her off and called her a slut.

### Making Up with Bela

At a future Catullan event, Bela approached Evangeline and asked if she'd gotten Bela's apology email. Evangeline said she had replied, but it must have gotten stuck in her outbox. She checked it and sent it. Bela read it and saw that it read, "Fuck you."

Later, at a naked party, Bela ran into Evangeline again. Evangeline pulled Bela to the side to say that she'd voted for Bela because she really thought her work was good and that's why she was so upset to see that Bela had given handjobs to try to sway votes. They decided they were good.

### Catullan Benefit

Evangeline attended the benefit that was thrown for past and present Catullan writers. When Danny Marawitz gave a sexist and racist speech and Bela confronted him over it, he withdrew the sizable donation he'd pledged. Despite this, Evangeline believed Bela had done the right thing. When Evangeline herself had introduced herself to Danny, he'd told her he would just call her Ali Wong. Fortunately, Thomas, another alum, stepped in and replaced half the donation Danny would have made.

### Final Submissions

On the day the final submissions were due, Eric told the hopefuls that they might not even pick any new writers, but Evangeline quickly assured them they'd probably pick between 2-4 new writers. After the submissions were reviewed, Evangeline and the other writers went around tapping the new writers, including Bela. Evangeline told Bela her packet was amazing and she truly deserved it.

### Welcoming New Writers

After the new writers were selected, they held a meeting and welcomed them all. Evangeline said it was tradition for the new writers to submit a new piece on their first day and the winning piece would be featured on The Catullan Instagram account. Evangeline okayed Carla and Bela writing their piece together. When Bela won solo after Carla quit The Catullan, Evangeline congratulated her.

### Bela's Report

Bela asked Evangeline and Eric to meet with her privately. When they did, she told them that Ryan had assaulted her. Evangeline was immediately supportive and checked on Bela's state while Eric was more doubtful. Bela said that he'd done the same thing to Carla, which was why she quit. After Eric walked out, Evangeline assured Bela she did the right thing.

### Ousting Ryan

Evangeline, Jo, and Eric asked Ryan to come to a meeting with them, Carla, and Bela. When he showed up, they told him they knew what he had done and told him he was out. He tried to impeach Bela's character, but they stayed firm in saying they believed her and told him to leave. At the next meeting, Evangeline was named the new co-editor, but Hank said that he thought it was unfair how they'd forced Ryan out, which led to Bela quitting The Catullan and walking out.

At a party, Jo and Evangeline approached Bela and told her they had also quit and wanted to start an all-women comedy magazine with her. She agreed.

### Starting The Foxy

With the plan in place to start their own comedy magazine, Jo, Evangeline, Bela, and Carla brought in several prospective new writers to try out.

As they prepared for the release of their first issue, they worried about how to reach a larger audience. Jo said that a lot of them shared the same social circles, which narrowed their reach. Evangeline said they could just start small and trust that their audience would find them, but Bela wasn't satisfied with that and they ended up going to The Catullan's printer and replacing their cover with one that had a QR code linking to The Foxy. In retaliation, Eric hacked their front page and vandalized it.

### Eric Confronting Bela

Evangeline and the rest of The Foxy staff were having a meeting when Eric came in and confronted Bela for sleeping with Dan O'Connell. Evangeline told him Bela was allowed to sleep with whoever she wanted, but he said they were exclusive and that that was Bela's idea. Bela tried to explain, but Eric said they were done and left. Bela tried to get the other writers on her side, but it didn't work.

### The Foxy Write-Up

At a meeting, Bela told The Foxy writers that they were getting a featured write-up in The Essex View. Carla wanted them all to wear matching shirts with the nicknames she'd made up for all of them on them, but the others shot that down and Bela said she'd be curating everything for the piece.

When the reporter came, Bela did most of the talking. When they were finished, the reporter took a picture of them.

The article came out and the other Foxy writers were upset that it focused entirely on Bela rather than The Foxy and the other writers. Bela feigned ignorance and said the reporter hadn't shown it to her prior to it being published. She offered to have him print a retraction.

At a party, Jo and Evangeline confronted Bela and said they knew that she had lied about the article, because the reporter told them he showed it to Bela and she approved it. In addition to that, Bela had told one of the new writers, Jorja, to quit The Foxy and comedy writing entirely. They told Bela they were supposed to be creating something new and better with The Foxy, not perpetuating the same toxicity. They said that Bela was fired from The Foxy and they would be housing with Carla instead of her.
