"can Story be not RESTful?  Can it be a form for non-RESTful data?"

Sure.  Keep in mind one of the Rails tenets: "convention over 
configuration".

Take a look at the HTML generated by form_for in the various REST 
contexts (e.g. new, edit).  *By default* it Does The Right Thing if 
you're using RESTful resources.

But there's nothing to stop you from overriding the configuration, e.g.:

    form_for @order, :url => checkout_details_path, :method => :put do |f|

and having a route to support it.
