1* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
2** In one of Ratliff's later stories, 'Winning Love By Daylight', while Jay Gordon and another character are talking about Marrissa in a restaurant, the following occurs:
3--->"Anyway, Marrissa is going to have to face the fact that there are some things beyond her control," Martin said, as a monster appeared just outside the restaurant's door.
4** What follows is the monster then being attacked by two of the 24th Century's version of the [[Franchise/SailorMoon Sailor Scouts]] (this particular Sailor Mars is a half-Klingon girl). The two scouts (who, like the monster, just appear out of nowhere) vanquish the monster and then leave. Jay and Martin actually [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] the absurd situation after the two Sailor Scouts leave, and of course the whole thing is never mentioned again. Indeed, even in the context of a Ratliff story, this scene was 'way over the top in terms of ridiculousness'.
5* SoBadItsGood: The main reason that ''all'' of Ratliff's Marrissaverse stories have been [[{{MST}} MSTed]]. Some of the regulars at rec.arts.tv.mst3k.misc would sign up to MST his next work ''before he even posted it.''
6* {{Squick}}: Exemplified by newly-engaged Marrissa, aged sixteen, bantering with Daddy Picard about being in a hurry to lose her virginity. After which she develops a predilection for skinny-dipping[[note]]And for pushing into the pool any man daring to stare at her[[/note]]. Ratliff eventually dropped all pretense and wrote an unabashed pornfic in which young Marrissa meets her male counterpart from another dimension.
