Beautiful: In The Eye of the Beholder A project of Sweetycat Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (January 2022). We provide the following information as an archive. About What is the allure of beautiful things? What are the dangers posed by beautiful things? I want stories and poems that are either about your actual encounter with someone or something that you found beautiful, or a fictional story or poem with the theme of beauty. Beauty can be external or come from something within that person or an animal; beauty isn't just skin deep. Was the encounter with the beautiful person, place or thing what you would have hoped for? The word beautiful or beauty must be included in every submission (both flash fiction and poetry).
