The Biblefic thing - I debated whether to reword it (actually there are several of these that I went back and forth on; I eventually went with a mix of fannish and non-fannish terminology so as to compare.)

Actually it's interesting that Biblefic! and Angel Slash! have consistently had exactly opposite results, because eschatological angel slash is basically fanon-based Bible fic. So yes, the wording does matter.

(And, also, that biblefic is widely used in some circles to specifically be fic based on characters in bible stories; but if you have ever dared venture in to the Bible Fic category on ff.net - it's been years, but I used to when I had run out of Good Omens slash - it was 90% "American High School girl finds the love of Christ" with various levels of metaphoricalness on the "love of Christ" part. So part of the reason I used that term is that it *is* a term with shifting meanings, and is sometimes used for stories most people wouldn't call fic, except for the fact that it's already been pre-categorized that way for them.)
