Punch's Buffy The Vampire Slayer Page

Punch's Buffy The Vampire Slayer Page was a Buffy-centric fanfiction archive and fan resource website on GeoCities. It's documented here as part of the OTW's GeoCities Rescue Project. 
As of October 2000, the page had 158 Buffy/Angel fanworks (mostly fic but some poems) by 75 authors and the guestbook had 250 signatures. The fanfiction archive had a request on it for someone to take over maintaining the archive, as Punch no longer had the time to maintain the archive. 
Although Punch appears to have shipped Buffy/Angel, given the name of the fanfiction archive, the site also had a banner on it reading, "I Support the Buffy/Riley Romance"
