This is great! I've wondered as well about that span of time in the Myst timeline, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading your theory! By the way, if you are a true Myst fan, you should take a look at my Myst Fansite (continuously under development):

Also, I am in the pre-writing stage of a Myst FanFiction story!

Good. You should do one about what the character is doing between Riven and Myst I: Exile. Do write more.

Not bad, not bad at all. Go Riven! Yeah.

Quite nice! And, "Al's Waiter", are you a fan of reboot or something?

Very nice!_

A very good story. That's what I would have done while I was waiting to go to Riven. Your grammar needs a little work, though. Otherwise it was excellent.

Very cool. :)

I enjoyed this immensely. keep up the nice description.

Insighful and realistic. Describes the thoughts and actions of a person stranded with no purpose and no connection to home. Keep up the good work, author.

Awesome. I could hardly have done it better. Oh, one thing though. You spelled "Jack Kirby" wrong. You spelled it "Jack Kerby." It shouldn't have an E. Aside from that though, really good.

Hmm...very interesting theory.

I like. After finishing Myst, most of the players wondered, I'm sure, what it'd have been like stuck on Myst until you were called on again in Riven. This puts it onto paper. Excellent work.

Great o-O

Nice... realistic and detailed.

A beutiful piece though perhaps you should have waxed alittle bit more about the fact he's never going to go home. A talk like that between Atrus and the man would be quite sad...perhaps Atrus even would tell him about writing. It's great though and somewhat how I imagined things to go...it's sad the people (whoever they are) in the five ages were exterminated by Achenar, the loneliness of myst was one of it's most tragic aspects.

hey, that was cool! I love Myst and Riven...good idea of what happened in between the games.
