I do want to thank everyone for responses, and no I don't think there is ever too late on this, since I'll refer back to it while picking projects.

I'm currently writing a 6 part pack based on the Isle of Blood warhammer campaign. I made a promise I'd do that first after getting a great deal on the boxed set. After that, I'll refer back to these results again when picking my next project.

Congratulations on finding a means for getting paid to write Quest packs (sort of).
