So now the original Archie timeline is getting something similar to Sonic the Comic Online... Didn't see that coming. I just hope the writers and artists behind these projects decide to exercise almost as much creative freedom as they wish, since they won't have any creative handicaps to deal with like what the official comics have to deal with these days. I say "almost" because I wouldn't recommend throwing in things that would outright violate the spirit of the original work, such as bedroom affairs or sailor language. Not that I have a problem with these things personally, but if this project is aiming to be a continuation of the original timeline and is seeking to maintain the core spirit of the original work the best it can, then they should only limit themselves where necessary, otherwise I feel that they should go nuts with the kinds of stories they want to tell. Besides, assuming this thing gains widespread attention, you gotta be mindful of the core audience that would seek such a work, and what they would expect to see from a continuation of the original timeline from the official comic.

TL;DR: If they want to be as faithful to the original work as possible while having more creative freedom than the team behind the original work did, the people behind this fan project should limit themselves only when necessary.

This project has certainly piqued my interest, although I'm cautious as to whether or not it's going to do something special and unique with itself, let alone last a decent while, assuming those behind these projects intend to make these comics ongoing series.
