I don't think separating "MY experience" from "THE experience" is important, as long as it's written well.
Furry fandom is art appreciation, with visual art, writing, performance, dance and more mushed together under one big vague label.
Compare the challenge of writing a good furry con report, to the challenge of writing about a large music festival. (Keeping in mind the well known saying, "writing about music is like dancing about architecture".)
Music journalism has done very well at that. A lot of the best does it by being very personal and subjective. It helped make rock and roll what it is.
Furry can do that, because it's not a canned product from Disney or Hollywood, and it's not Comic Con.
