How can they help you, these fantasy writers, if they don't know the plot? Eventually you'll have to trust someone if you ever want to get published.

I already have a friend reading it over, and one whom I can take criticism from (and I mean bad criticism). All I am asking these fantasy writers is where I can find a good agent and publisher, and probably how to write better.

that all sounds perfectly reasonable. Also, In my experience, Published writers don't WANT to read the work of an unpublished writers, lest they unconsciously pick up something they've read and put it in thier own work, and get sued for plagarism, or just for personal reasons.

I'm not too worried about plagarism, because I've slathered every page with copyright notices, and I have proof that I authored the document in the year I started it.
