I have a project on github, which is a fork of a big project. I created a plugin for that but they told me they will not include the plugin, I have to ship it separately, so now I want to fork the already forked project, but not everything, just the directory where I did that plugin. Is it possible?
edit: Apparently on github i can't fork my own repository, so I think the answer's no.

You can fork any repo by clicking the fork button in the upper right hand corner of a repo page. Click on the Fork button to fork any repo on github.com. Source: GitHub Guides.
The TOS states you agree to allow viewing and forking. It doesn't state that you agree to allow redistribution or use. If the terms don't explicitly state that you allow those things, then unless your license allows them they aren't allowed.
You can use git filter-branch to rewrite the whole history of your repository, just to keep (and move) your plugin. Doing so allows you to keep your plugin history.
Then use git submodule as https://stackoverflow.com/users/1967966/anh-nhan-nguyen suggested in answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/14895900/611560
