Vanessa Ascot

Vanessa Ascott is the chief protagonist of the short story Crescendo, opening chapter to the TG/Spanking novella Oak Ridge Eight. Residing in the fictional Courtland Valley, Vanessa suffers from the so-called Transgender Plague, having transitioned around the age of seven. In common with most tranzies, she adjusted well to her new gender, enrolling at the prestigious Lainsbury Academy and forming a close-knit circle of transsexual acquaintances. By her early teens, Vanessa has fully embraced her transgirl status, having earned a well-deserved reputation as a rambunctious tomboy. Her trouble-making antics are brought to an abrupt halt when her Mother meets Rob Jackson, a stern but good-natured veteran who refuses to tolerate any of Vanessa's devious shenanigans.

Background
At barely sixteen years of age, Vanessa Ascot believes herself to be the only tranzie in Oak Ridge to receive regular OTK spankings until she inadvertently witnesses her close friend Marylin being paddled over her Father's knee. Realizing that she is not alone, Vanessa begins to investigate the rumors she's been hearing around high school; tales of bare-bottomed humiliation too shameful to discuss in mixed company.

As the story progresses, Vanessa discovers that no less than seven of her closest friends are subject to parental discipline, often under the most painfully embarrassing of circumstances. With each new revelation, Vanessa begins to suspect that spanking is far more common in Oak Ridge than she initially thought, and eventually comes to believe that she's been getting off rather lightly compared to others within her circle.

Cover blurb (2017)
''To the casual observer, the quiet rural township of Oak Ridge seems a vision of paradise. But paradise always comes at a cost, and a wave of juvenile delinquency has spread across the tranquil village over the past year, led by the irrepressible Vanessa Ascot and her teenaged renegades. Faced with a barrage of chronic misbehavior, the towns' residents decide to take matters into their own hands: laying down the law in no uncertain terms, parents join forces to combat adolescent hi-jinx with chores, curfews, and good, old fashioned spankings. The stage is set for the ultimate confrontation, as Vanessa and her friends have their bottoms well and truly smacked!''
