Let us postulate, as a hypothetical example, that Christian Weston chandler has asked you to proofread, edit and write an original and as-of-yet unreleased Sonichu story. What would you do? How would you do it? What would you add to it?

It would be mature, self-aware, violent and pulpish.
Essentially, everything he would not like in a Sonichu story.

Isn't this basically covered by the "how would you improve Sonichu?" thread?
Well anyway, I'd change several aspects to make it a uniquely childish psychological journey that's still in style of our good old Sonichu.
Just turning Sonichu into a well written and well-drawn story would be boring. I'd keep the same art style and have the plot be based about overpowered electric hedgehogs fighting villains based on Chris's real life grudges as usual. But I'd add more tension to it so there's drama, and expand on the "real-life perils made into epic journey" aspect in ways Chris could never think of (e.g. make it more self-aware, but with Chris in-story being oblivious as usual).
Goddamn, it's late and I can't form coherent sentences so I'll give examples. I'd turn the house fire into a new story arc - the portal to CWCville is destroyed, so Chris must regain access to his fantasy place. Chris would just claim that he was always able to access CWCville whenever he wanted all along and forget about all that (just like he resolved the Medallion shit with the Amnyfest Ring), so I'd actually give Chris some trouble to regain that access. Meanwhile Keurig would become the new 4-cent garbage.com. I could probably connect it to the Wasabi Clan given the whole fire motif, that the house fire was part of their centuries-old feud with the Cherokian Clan. And have the head of Keurig be a ripoff of Fire Lord Ozai from Avatar (Chris never watched that show, but I like imagining how Chris could ripoff any given thing - remember, he doesn't even have to like or know something much to rip it off).

I'd write Sonichu as a psychological horror, with each member of the Chaotic Combo representing an aspect of Chris' personality.
Sonichu=Self-image
Rosechu=Feminine Side
Magi-Chan=Repressed homosexuality
Punchy=Bigotry
Wild=Fear of being alone
Angelica=Religious zeal
Bubbles=Fear of others (have to make her interesting somehow!)
Blake=Rationality.

Just getting rid of misprints would be a good start. Insist on clarifying everything that's incomprehensible. Cut down any walls of text, cut out anything that's not relevant to the story (e.g. the mechanics of hedgehog cock). Get rid of all the nudity and sex, as it's nominally supposed to be a kids' comic. Return it to Chris, get an angry rant and watch it get published exactly as originally written.

From the OP, I'm not exactly sure what this thread's intent is. Is Chris handing you a new Sonichu issue to edit and rewrite, or is this a simple "how would you write a new Sonichu issue?" The phrasing is confusing.
"Original and as-of-yet unreleased" makes me think it's the former.
In which case, we're kind of playing on Hard Mode: going by the end of Sonichu #10 and discounting the Christmas Special as a non-sequitur Christmas special, since it barely touches on anything that happened in #10, he's practically written a series-ender. He's (terribly, horribly) put his victims/opponents to death, or put them in jail, and Deus Ex Machina'd his way out of any meaningful conflict, which means one would kind of have to grasp at straws just to keep the story going.
So to keep the thread going, I'll ask exactly that: what's left after Sonichu #10 to actually keep the story in the comics going? Never mind that Sonichu inevitably turns into Chris' psychodrama, with the knowledge that it does that despite the fact it's trying to carry on a story that isn't just Chris dramatizing his life, what's left to take on?
For what it's worth, if it were up to me the next issue to tackle would be the Moon. Metal Sonichu is there and has been a Chekov's Gun that's been lying dormant so long that pulling the trigger would probably result in a minutes-long hangfire. With nobody else left, he's kind of the next villain to deal with by default.
I think Metal Sonichu was mentioned by Chris to become the new host for Count Graduon. He just wrapped up trolls-of-the-week and the MLW conflict that's been going on for years.
Chris never wanted Sonichu to end, he intended it to go forever. He just stopped drawing it because he got lazier than before.

Yeah, just to verify that he wasn't blown up or something I checked the wiki and that's the answer I got, too.
It probably helps/doesn't help that everyone else has basically been purged.

Sooooooooo....like Silent Hill, but more twisted and horrifying?
(also, wouldn't Magi-Chan be the "rationality", Sonichu be the "repressed homosexuality" and Blake being, like, the rampaging Id?)
Nope. Magi-Chan always scanning for homosexuality in CWCVille (Chris' sub-conscious) is him trying to repress the gay, Sonichu is basically what Chris wants out of life, and as for Blake, I just liked the symbolism of the fear of others latching onto his rationality and taking it over.

I'd make a story based around the comic Maus.
I'd write a Sonichu story where he has a clone made from the hair that he sent to Sonichu Girls. It would include the return of Cly and his Slander Ray, and Chris' medallion would get stolen from him by a false and dishonest troll. He would lose his powers while taunting "My power comes from my highschool ring you DAMN JERK!", but Chris had forgotten that he had the ring on the medallion's peg. Chris' dark transformation (based on his "embracing his darkside" statement) would appear when he is forced to wear his Black Sonichu Medallion (I think that it sounds better than Blake Medallion) to restore his CURSE-YE-HA-ME-HA, along with his less interesting powers, to their former glory, with a dark twist.
