You will NOT plant a plotseed into my head. I'm already ignoring 6 stories right now -- I don't have TIME to ignore another!
That said, if you were doing the whole epic fantasy, yeah, I could see the two culture thing. Might be best, though, as a total immersion, no big history; just a lot of unfolding and assumption. Readers are very accepting if you really make the 'now' of the character very velcro-hooky (don't you LOVE my technical terminology?)
Bah! No! Stop thinking stories! (Pardon, must go have a talk with my muse in the back).
