Awesome! Hopefully I'll be done by then, or at least close! Should I leave a sample of my works?

That seems like a questionable vetting process. How do you propose that a scattering of enthusiasts will effectively collaborate to produce a work that's more meritorious than a seven-year tour de force spearheaded by one focused and inspired artist? Your project won't have any kind of cohesion if it's driven by the whims of numerous people who just need to get their ideas in edgewise.
Now, I'm the last person you'll find putting down derivative works just for being derivative. Fan art, in all its forms, can be perfectly legitimate. I'm just not confident that you know exactly what you're saying or getting into when you say you want to 'completely emulate the style of Homestuck.' The nature of that beast is... not one the average Homestuck fan is qualified to tackle.
Does the project have any kind of real leadership? Because if you want a collaborative work to move in one direction, you need one director.
And just so I understand better: Does any of Project Omega's content intend to overwrite some part of Homestuck's canonical ending, or is it a purely speculative work that takes place entirely after the ending? The answer to that question will definitely decide PΩ's popularity... and ethical standing, I would think.
EDIT: And finally, isn't it a little suspect that you've made your Tumblr page a pixel-for-pixel facsimile of the official MSPA website? With the 'MSPAINT ADVENTURES' banner and all? Same links to the official shop pages and Bandcamp page? It definitely seems to infringe on Andrew Hussie's established brand. You would do well to remember that, at the end of the day, Homestuck pays the bills for somebody. You can't just... take that and run with it. The facade you've created is convincing enough that you definitely need to put a large disclaimer somewhere about how your project is unaffiliated with the official. I have since been informed that this is largely a non-issue, given the format's widespread use. A disclaimer couldn't hurt, though.

The facade you've created is convincing enough that you definitely need to put a large disclaimer somewhere about how your project is unaffiliated with the official. Although we're going to have a lot of people involved, the script is being carefully maintained to fit with canon and tell a cohesive story. (I'm the director. It's me.) What we make won't be better quality than Homestuck was, but it will provide better closure in just about every respect. We're not overwriting the ending, really, just interpreting S Act 7 in a way in which it isn't the end, and running from there. The MSPA Tumblr theme has been a thing for a while, so if it was actually an issue, someone probably would have done something about it already.

Is the intent here to simply write a clear picture of an interpretation of Act 7, and then write epilogue-y character stuff, victory and all that, or is it to go on from Act 7 with continued conflict?

We're going on from the current ending, using an interpretation of the events of the last flash in the way that sets the stage for a lot of big things to happen. Going on from Act 7 with continued conflict puts it pretty well.

Dronegorg is currently not slated to appear in the comic, although that may change. We already have a pretty solid plan for most of the script, so randomly discussing things here instead of joining the project doesn't really add much.

I'd like to get involved, but I wasn't aware there were so many plans already in place...

I believe there is an Excel or Word Online thing floating around somewhere that Maeda has, but I would recommend making something of that nature, if it doesn't exist already, as a place where official ideas can be in one place.

We have a Discord server and several Google Docs for the project, if anyone's wondering. Dronegorg is currently not slated to appear in the comic, although that may change.

Hey, if you're still doing this, I'd love to help! I can play the ocarina, or I could help with the story/script, whether it be editing for grammar, designing characters, or helping to write the storyline.

We're kind of re-configuring things right now. We do need more people, so you're welcome to join. We'll send you an invite once we have things a bit more figured out.

Hey guys. Person from Act Omega here. The tumblr blog got kinda tampered with but things are still going and if you're interested in joining I can invite you to the Discord server! But we're probably going to be moving to a private forum soon.

I have but one request: Dave needs to bleat like a goat. For ironic purposes.
