However, other, persistant, rumors continue about Mr. Ratliff's identity.  Some maintain that Stephen Ratliff is the psuedonym of best selling author, Tom Clancy. They point to similarities between Tom Clancy's  Jack Ryan and Stephen Ratliff's Marrissa. Others claim that there is no Stephen Ratliff, rather, the name of Stephen Ratliff is taken by various A.S.C. authors as part of some nefarious plan. A similar claim is made by some in A.S.C.  who speculate that Stephen Ratliff was created  by vile fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000 in an effort to discredit the Star Trek community.
