So the main solution would be not forking, but cloning and straight create a separate project? Will it work?

Yes, I believe that if you push a repo to GitHub from a local copy instead of using their web-based "fork" feature it will not deduplicate the repositories. IDK if this affects your ability to submit pull requests though.
Simply saving a copy of the fork locally would be sufficient to keep a copy of it.
