You're probably over-thinking this. You want a form with some fields in it. When the form is submitted, your view takes the cleaned data from the form, uses that to determine the appropriates values to use to create each model instance and then saves the models. So create a normal Form subclass (that's documented in the forms documentation), then use the cleaned data (forms documentation) to create model instances (model documentation or the tutorial) and save those. When you forms don't map directly onto models, then that's fine. That's why the form module is separate from the model module in Django, so that you're not required to only create forms based on models.
