I would say in a sense yes, we are more creative than the average fandom. A large portion of the art, literature, etc coming out of the fandom is based on original ideas coming of fans heads. It's not based on an existing idea beyond the basic concept of anthropomorphism. We're are not taking somebody else's idea and running with it, we're creating our own characters, our own universes our own rules. What we do requires far more effort and dedication than the average fan who likes a TV show and decides to write some fanfiction. If I were to write an MLP fanfic, no matter how much I alter the world, no matter how many new characters I create, it's still My Little Pony, otherwise I wouldn't be writing it in the first place would I? Just like Sci-Fi, western or superhero movies, anthropomorphism is a genre and it has limitless possibilities for storytelling, but when you rely on anothers hard work, you are not being creative, you are being derivative. That's not a negative, that's just a fact, and there are plenty of examples of good derivative works.

So yes, furries are by definition, more creative.
