Dwarf Fortress was the 2006 Indy PC Game of the year at the 2006 Gamers With Jobs Community Game of the Year Awards. There are lots of interesting articles at their site, and they also have a podcast (on which both of us were interviewed by Julian Murdoch). It was our first live interview, so we kind of fell apart, he he he.
Julian Murdoch also wrote an article about the game which appeared in Games for Windows magazine. There was also a DF article in PC Gamer UK (which we've seen, thanks to Martin) and a PC Powerplay article (which we haven't seen!).
Bill Harris has written about Dwarf Fortress on his blog Dubious Quality and has been very supportive of the game since the initial release. We did a two part interview with him and his readers back in January of 2007.
