Fair enough. Common sense always wins over coming up with / sticking to definitions

i have been making 40x25 pixel art by filling the screen with the petscii block character and then changing the text colour (or was i filling it with an empty "space" character and then changing the background colour??)... i guess this isn't Text Art

Arguably it's not text art unless you use text character sets.
If you change the font into something that's not a font anymore, then the technical limitation and subsequently the artistic challenge will change considerably.

Some years ago a friend of mine made this limited tileset tool: http://minimart.pasmas.org/
From my experience with it, yes the challenge is somewhat similar to ascii/petscii, but if you go down that road you might find that you've broadened the category too much. For example, pixel art would fit into this broadened category quite easily, as it uses a square-shaped tiles of varying colour.

Stick to abstracted text, I guess

Nowadays it's called interactive fiction. So, actually it's literature!
