I'll check out anyothergirl415--I've probably read something by her, I read so much of the darn stuff!
I find that the less skillfully written a fic is, the creepier Tom tends to be--I didn't really want to say that outside of a cut, but oh my lord. There's some really bad stuff out there, oy. I have read a few fics where Tom has been presented in a pretty good light, or at least a halfway decent one, but still. I think if a writer is interested in RPS, they should at least do a little bit of research into whoever they're writing into a fic. There's a way of presenting Thomas as a bad guy and still making him a three dimensional character, right?
Personally, I like my Thomas good. I did read a story that I was linked to here that featured a real asshole of a Tom, but it was written so well that I ended up liking him anyway...*g*
