Sometimes I really miss Souless Sam. That's for bringing him back.

OMG...this was astoundingly perfect and chilling!! This was Soulless Sam through and through - evil was kinda watered down before it met this guy!!

*Shivers*

Gorgeous, lovie. Just gorgeous...

I do so love a bit of soulless Sam. XD

I have to be honest and say that this was absolutely not what I envisaged for 'evil' Sam! As other people have said it's really great to see souless!Sam back so THANK YOU for that! :) It's not what I expected but it didn't spoil my enjoyment of the fic, so I'm happy about that and you've done a really good job bringing him back to life! :D My only complaint/niggle is that it's rather short... where's the rest?! There's so much more you could have gone into - will you consider writing more? *pulls puppy eyes while crossing fingers*

On the definition of evil: I've had a look in the comm but I couldn't see any 'guidelines' for what they class as evil - was there any, or did you use your own interpretation? I'm really curious because in this fic, although thoroughly enjoyable, your version of Sam seems... well, very tame! Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising, I'm genuinely interested in people's various ideas on the concept. :)

Edit - I really don't mean to sound like a bitch BTW. I hope you understand what I'm getting at!

It's okay, I'm happy to explain why I wrote Sam this way.

For this fic I definitely wanted a different take on evil!Sam, so I didn't want him to be the King of Hell, or one of Crowley's minions, doing the torture thing as that is the same old same old. Sometimes you have to take a risk and write what's not expected and that's what I did here.

So, I thought about the nature of evil...even discussed it here http://terror-scifi.livejournal.com/111466.html ...and approached soulless Sam as being evil when viewed from a normal perspective. I believe soulless Sam is a psychopath so, for him, killing is the logical choice when faced with the circumstances he finds himself in. So the act of killing innocents without remorse, to me, is inherently evil.

This paragraph by black_sluggard summed it up for me in our discussion.

In the real world: Callousness, lack of empathy, selfishness and indifference. Evil, for me, is pursuing your goals without any thoughts to how others are made to suffer ( ... )
