ETA: I meant exclusively in the context of fanfiction, not gaming or other. Question has now been answered.
Please define for me the word "one-shot". Today I saw someone use it to mean "single chapter only; not a series". I had always thought a "one-shot" was a fanfic written in a single go, rather than multiple writing sessions; thus they would tend to be shorter, but something with several chapters could also be a "one-shot" if it was written all at once. Am I wrong?
