heterofancy/heterophancy
Gives it a double meaning - and possibly the second spelling gives it not just the double meaning, but also an pseudo-scientific aura . . . ?
Another suggestion, anyway :-)

It's just a visual/phonetic game - 'ph' as in the phoneme /f/ - a pretentious way of writing 'fancy' to give it a kind of pseudo-scientific feel.
However (to be scientific about it ! ):
'phantasy: var. of FANTASY syn see FANCY'
'fancy': [ME fantsy, contr. of fantasie . . . . fr. LL phantasia . . .]
'phantasm or fantasm: 1. a product of phantasy . . . '
(Webster's Third New International Dictionary)
So, the meaning is different (hence the 'pseudo-scientific' thing), but the word exists!
And there are so many 'ph' = /f/ words in science . . .
That's all, really . . . :-/

straight phantasia
bo hetero to straight - ale musisz skonsultować z jakimś native'em - może na Eng-Eng?
a może i iść dalej i stworzyć neologizm - straightantasia... kontekst by się zdał...
