Ao3 author syndrome

An occurrence in which someone gets into a situation in which they can't work on something they want to work on- typically but not limited to fanfiction.

Ao3 author syndrome gets its name from the popular fanfiction website "archiveofourown.org" and how authors always want to write fanfiction, even if they accidentally drink bleach or get run over.

Ao3 author syndrome is kind of a synonym for the Ao3 Author Curse, but the Ao3 Author Curse refers to exclusively fanfiction authors
