In the comic industry, a one-shot is a piece that is created as a pilot comic or stand-alone story. Many artists publish one-shots to test a possible new story, or to express information that would not fit with the story arc of a multiple-issue monthly series, particularly a long-running regular series. In the Japanese manga industry, the same concept is expressed by the term yomikiri (読み切り), which roughly translates to "that's all there is to read."

One-shots in fanfiction:

One-shot can also refer to a short anime story, or a short piece of fan fiction, where a fan fiction piece would only last one chapter. Recently, this usage has expanded to refer to any one chapter piece of literature, although one-shot is generally only used in this way for electronic literature.

One-shots in fanfiction are self-contained stories that are meant to be only one chapter long. They're usually divided into one of the following sections:

• A one-time event, like a climatic battle scene.
• The beginning or the end of a romantic relationship.
• A character study, or an introspective look into the pysche of the character.

There is no definite word limit for the length of a one-shot fanfiction. Usually, however, a one-shot is anything longer than 500 words in length. Shorter stories, called ficlets or drabbles, are usually 100-500 words in length. However, these number vary from one archive, community or fanfiction contest to the next.

There is also no definite style for one-shots in fanfiction. Songfics are usually one-shots, but one will find an often more diverse group of writing styles in one-shots. Styles or p.o.v.'s that don't work in longer, chaptered stories, such as present tense, second person pov or monologues, are far more frequent in one-shot fictions.

In the music industry, a one-shot is a hit song, from an artist who actually only made one hit during his career, such as Patrick Hernandez (Born To Be Alive) and Coolio (Gangsta's Paradise).

In sampling a one-shot is a sample that is played without immediate repetition. Contrast with a loop. (Duffell 2005, p.14)
