I'm about to post something in it but I'm wondering , what are the norms of it?
Do You post links to Your story or do You write if all up on separate posts or something like that?
Could someone give me some clean what not and what to do in those forums?

Well, I've never submitted to the Writing Forum, but I suppose either option is good. Having a link to your newspage (blog) on NG, is just as good as submitting the whole thing to a thread.

Have a look at what others are doing in the Writing Forum, then decide for yourself :)

I haven't posted a lot there myself, but generally, if the content you post doesn't need to be specifically formated to be readable, and isn't too long, it's best included as a post. Dividing up long stories in multiple posts makes it easier to read, not to mention there is a word limit that won't let you submit too long posts in one go. If you have a lot of content, a personal thread would be the best choice, but if you have only specific writings, a new thread for each one will do fine. There's really no standard, I'd recommend just lurking around a bit or posting some feedback on other people's writing before you decide what to do. :)

You can do either really, assuming it's not, like, fifty pages long. If it'll take up any more than four posts I'd say just link it.
