Code:
    <link href="stylesheet.css" type="text/css" charset="UTF-8" rel="stylesheet"/>
    <meta name="chapterurl" content="https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11360264/1/"/>
    <meta name="chapterorigtitle" content="1. Chapter 1"/>
    <meta name="chaptertoctitle" content="1. Chapter 1"/>
    <meta name="chaptertitle" content="1. Chapter 1"/>
See how the tags end with />, just like the link tag for stylesheet? That makes it a self closing tag.

For most purposes <x></x> and <x/> are functionally identical. I left these tags as <meta...></meta> because something (epubcheck maybe? or nook? don't remember now) complained about self closing meta tags.

So I speculate that the tool you're using to view the source with replaced <meta...></meta> with <meta.../>. It's not uncommon, especially for 'inspectors'.

tl;dr: <meta...></meta> == <meta.../>. If it's not actively causing problems, don't worry about it.
