The parallel between the alto and bass is a "technically" parallel octave, but since the voices
are crossing over into the next measure across the bar line you can "excuse" the parallel.
You do only have "tonal" and "real" as options for fugal answers in traditional fugues, anyway.
You do have a lot of licence with your options after the exposition of the fugue. But also,
if you take your time and think craftily you will find that you can take a few licence in the
exposition as well.
J. Lee Grahams's "crash-course" was a great idea and I think anyone interesting in writing
fugues would do well to look at his example for a good solid start with understanding fugues.
