Even though I don't think I've actually published any stories of this nature (though I am working on a couple), I really love writing character studies and angst. It really puts me in that perfect "raw" mindset where I don't stress over whether my draft is polished or even coherent in its beginning stages, I just let the words flow out and sometimes that "messiness" of the first draft can lend itself to being more of a feature than a bug.

I also really enjoy that I don't have to write as much in the way of my nemesis: physical description.
