Shaggy Dog Swap was a reverse bang challenge centered around the Remus/Sirius pairing. It was run on LiveJournal by mypretty_art with the support of various moderators.

We're a new Remus/Sirius fest that swaps roles, and asks the age old question; which came first? The fanart or the fanfic?[1]

The "Welcome Post!" appeared in May 2011, proposing a Reverse Bang fest, in which artists were asked to create one original piece of art. Writers could then claim one piece of art each, and respond to it with fanfic with a minimum 2,000 word count.[2]

The "Art Posts Round-Up" of August 2011 included 27 artworks. The "Shaggy Dog Swap Fic Masterlist" of 41 fanfics was posted in December 2011, with some artworks receiving multiple responses.

The founder expressed interest in running a second fest in 2013, but this did not proceed.
