Ever fantasize about Mayor Bill Peduto riding bareback on Dippy the Dinosaur through the streets of Oakland? Who hasn't, right? We want your Pittsburgh fan fiction!

Sure, our staff could fill pages with our own fairy tales about Sally Wiggin and Wiz Khalifa and the ghost of Myron Cope coaching some young stud Yoda-style, but we wanted to give you, our amazing readers, a chance to participate too. We're looking for short stories about your favorite local celebrities and personalities.

Send us your submissions for a chance to appear in our Valentine's Day issue on Wed., Feb. 13. Our favorite entry will also receive a prize package.

Stories should be rated PG-13 and no longer than 500 words. Email your story to [email protected] with "Pittsburgh Fan Fiction" in the subject line by Fri., Feb. 1.

Let's have some fun, Pittsburgh. Don't disappoint these folks:
