NOWHERE!

Stop right now if you are going online and giving people your ideas.
What you are thinking of is a treatment. (movies)
It is a 30 page outline of a film, and nowadays, production companies want a whole script (if you aren't an established writer/director.)

Treatments always come along with completed spec scripts these days, it's not 1945 anymore when you can begin filming a movie without even having the script finished, and writing it the night before shooting.

For television shows, creators such a Josh Schwarts, write out elaborate concepts for television shows (the O.C.)
Along with the first season worth of episode treatments,
They then set up a meeting with a network and pitch the idea.

Dont put your ideas on the internet.

You can find them online. ideas wanted scripts etc. The agents first goal is to get you to give him money. Selling an idea if you are not in the clique is nearly impossible.
The agents responsibility is to make sure you and the buyers interests are protected. Most buyers of ideas use agents for their own protection. There is a website for agents that will accept scripts by email. Try screen play scripts accepted by email.
