I really like the label "speculative fiction" actually. To me, it goes to the root of any setting that isn't realistic, and erases the expectation that SF is about predicting how things will "really" be in the future.
Fantasy of manners sounds almost alarmingly accurate, actually. I guess I'm not as original/weird as I thought. I've still really enjoyed this discussion, though, so all is well.
