oneshot

(Used commonly in RPG threads) To create a straightforward plot or scene involving only one character which can get other characters involved in the future.

(Personal messaging)

1st Person: I've just created a oneshot about a zombie break in at the restaurant.

2nd Person: Cool, can I continue that idea in another thread?

1st Person: Sure, let me include that in an edit.

Oneshot

Often used on the app Wattpad, a oneshot is a short story often crammed into one or two chapters.

Since I had to leave for the store in 5 minutes, I only had enough time to read a oneshot.
